Image size reduced as requested. Apologies for all the hassles.

Thanks K and Traveller. I've been itching to find some way of photographing this 'glass ball in a spiral' wind decoration thing we have hanging above the deck.

That's much better, I really like the image refractions of the deck.... and what do you know, they are leading lines. Paul

Gilles, I have not seen the image in the smaller (?) size but now it looks great!
Love the colors, texture and the best - the idea and execution.

Very impressive now! These were issues that you needed to work and become comfortable with anyhow.

Great idea and execution.

Best wishes, Traveller

As per the suggestions below, I've upped the size of the image. Thanks for the encouragement and the suggestions.

Well, it's at 226K now so it is over anyway...but work with us on this. You've got a great camera, great lens, a very creative mind, but maybe now...a little effort for displaying such fine images in an electronic setting.

Paul has it pretty much right...I use photoshop, but whatever you have, Image Size (you've already sized it once to 300 pixels on the width, so, take your original, 600 {though I would prefer 700 pixels to make this image pop (!) probably}, then Save As, and save at a 9 or a 10 and that should get you pretty close).

In the alturnative, post at 700x and I'll resize it for you.

Lovely, lovely, creative image.

Best Wishes, Traveller

You can make the image size anything you would like it to be, you just have to adjust the "quality slider" to the left to fit the challenge max of 200K.

Or if you use Canon's DPP then click the resize button and then the quality slider when you convert and save. Paul

Thanks for your kind words Traveller. 600 by 600 would put this over the maximum size of 200k, wouldn't it?

Wow, upsize this a little and you may win this challenge, Gilles...maybe 700x700 pixels would be about right for this....maybe 600x600 because it is square...still, outstanding work!
