1. Welcome!
Scroll down and get the info for the May "Backlit" contest so you can participate if you'd like.

Your top photo would have been a terrific entry for the Spring contest that is already underway.

14. Looks like you've figured it out!
I format the ppi and resolution in Photoshop and save it as a copy before I move it to Photobucket. Then I can keep the orginal at a larger size in case I want to print it in the future.

13. Welcome. I Love a new "face" bringing gifts.
I noticed the Wandering Tulips are getting the most raves, and I must join the chorus. That is a fabulous shot, moving in more ways than one. I also like the others, especially the heavy metal at the ocean.

I'm glad you are here.

16. Welcome to the photo group!!!
Edited on Sun May-15-11 10:57 AM by CC
Looks like you have a good eye.:) I'll have to add to loving the tulips too and wishing they had been in the Spring contest. I also love the POV on the statue and that you are willing to "see" things differently than the everyday. The only critique I'll give is on the 3rd one, watch your water line, water levels itself even on the horizon. It seems to bother some people more than others but it is something that shouts out to many. That last one is surreal and the waterline adds to that. I like it and proves sometimes rules are meant to be broken.
