I registered sometime ago for the DPC "rival" site fotofight. I never competed or read any of the stuff going on their. I decided to enter a "silhouette" challenge. I took this about 2 hours before the voting started. Everything looked good...but for some reason their coding is totally screwed. I submitted a 136kb file but it looked horrible in the preview and voting section. I was down to like 36k.



I really do not care if I get DQ'ed over their because I will never go back. I did post process the photo with s/m/h, curves, manual color correction. But I really like it. Might make a print for myself.

Got me worried, just checked both my entries for the current challenges and they are the same size as I uploaded.

Well the actual pixel size is the same....but when I viewed them saved from the website. Paste the original on top of the one from fotofight and set the layer blend mode to difference. The difference is night and day. You shouldn't be able to see anything if they used the file you submitted. Or maybe I am just doing it wrong but definately not my original work.

Here is the difference in what I submitted and what is on the site.



May not look like much but totally makes my original shot look like it is soft and out of focus.

The difference between the image I am showing here is it has a border and the one on fotofight does not.
