Is it against the rules to use little dancing bananas and clapping smile faces and stuff like that now? I haven't seen any in the threads for a while. |

Well, I guess we shouldn't send you flowers to make you feel better.
Ummmm...Do you like chocolate?....LOL. |

Good, you haven't voted on my flowers... no need to buddy, calm down and enjoy the abstract macro for a while. Come back to purple when you rekindle your desire to stare at purple flowers:-)
ps. I knew that there would be 100 flowers in this one, but I went for it anyway. Paying for it now.

Whew! I just finish at 54% and I've had enough. Save me some flowers to stomp on, routerguy666.

BTW, why do many folks resize their entries so small? Don't you folks know that the largest dimension can be up to 640 pixels? I thought I was voting on thumbnails on some.

Alot of people honestly don't know better and will also have files sizes that are too small and not up to the full 150 kb limit which can give them jagged edges. They don't use the save for web feature I think and simply save the photo at the file size limit. If you or anyone for that matter, has time try and leave them a comment and give them this link to help them out. I try and do it when I can but haven't had a chance to go through and vote/comment yet. :) Its too bad too because I am sure they spent time on their entry and it is going to get slammed because the last step they did totally screwed them over.

At least it finally went above 4 by a little. The comments tell me that the photo is pink, when in fact the background is PLUM. It's purple, I tell ya .. Purple!!

Same here... I even checked it against the color chart someone posted. Of course I have some technical problems, so combine the two and here I sit.

Still, you are a few points higher than my score. Must be the dreaded flower I included to make another item stand out. That flower had not been the intended focus, but it certainly looks like it from the votes! |

Good idea (about the link).
After an ever-so-slight overnight dip, my score is beginning to bounce back. It looks like it may be you and I for the checkered flag, jdannels!

| Lesgainous, I owe you a thank you because you left me a DETAILED comment about the size of my photo in the very first challenge I entered (Geometry). Since that comment was made, I finally figured out how to get a bigger size while staying within the parameter of the 150kb. I would bet that newbies like me with thumbnail submissions are sacrificing dimensions to meet the 150k. Now, I choose the size first of 640 (as you suggested) and then compress the file using the percentage slider in ACDSee until I get under 150k. THANK YOU!! |

I am loving the fact that comments are being made. This is a pretty "middle-of-the-road" score and yet I am getting comments. |

You're quite welcome! I'm glad the comments that I leave are helping. I just wish I had that link to provide at the time. Keep up the good work.
