I have a first photo in the Letter challenge...and have had several comments that it's small...well the system made me make it smaller when I submitted it, even though photoshop told me the size/file was within guidelines...
It's frustrating to not be able to answer to comments.

The "small size" problem is a common one. You should read this tutorial on preparing imges for submission. It covers resizing, and how to meet the file size limit without making the image smaller than it needs to be to meet the submission guidelines.
You always want the longest side to be 640px. Any less and you're going to lose detail, which will result in a lower score.
edit: not fast enough, LOL.

I don't know which photo is yours and haven't seen any of the entries yet.
Don't tell me which one is your's but have you read this?
DPC Tutorial
I noticed it is your first challenge and this is a common mistake from newbies. I think you need to go with the biggest size DPC allows. People usually frown on a small photo.
