Here is a link to a tutorial about preparing images for the challenges here at DPC if you have Photoshop. Preparing images for DPC Challenges Tutorial
Even if you don't use Photoshop, maybe some of the info in the tutorial will help you to figure out how to size images for challenges. You can resize the image first, then reduce the resolution (quality) to achieve the required filesize of 150 or 200 mb.
Congrats on the brown. I missed it by one place once, so don't feel bad about finishing last. The size of the image was the main problem.
Welcome to DPC. I hope that you will learn much and shoot often.

This has a good film-like grain. I have gotten the same effect by underexposing, then in processing bring the brightness up and saturation down, then peg the color sliders to maximize noise. It looks great in this shot.

Well done. You caught the beauty of the children as they explore the world while their elders discuss it.

I see in your description that you tweaked the minors. I know a few minors that need tweaking : )

This is an excellent combination of color and subjects. It would be stronger if you had gotten all of the fingertips.

That's a perfect title for this one. B&W seems right too.
