One to start the ball rolling.  :)
I thought the above  was a butterfly and had to look twice to find it was a leaf

I thought the Challenge was just for Leafs only. A few or A Handful.  That will probably be hard for some of us that just take panoramic shots. The post for the Challenge can be misunderstood if you only read the first part. Is it correct that you want 5 or less leafs in A composition of Changing Fall leafs. That's what I understand.

There can be a lot of leaves in the overall image, but the primary subject would be just a handful of leaves.

Thanks Ken! I can understand that.

We need more entries! I know if I can figure it out the other Photographers can too.


Just A Challenge

Not professional like the rest of the folks here, I just happened to see these while walking Zeke.  I had to go back to get a camera and wound up using John's.

I give up... I carefully minimized my pic to only 200kb and it still says my file is too large and needs to be only 200kb. In fact even the first 2 times I tried posting this written reply (without any attachments) it still said my file was too large!  :idiot: Guess I'll just enjoy watching others this time.   :lol:

Oh, Jim!  Please don't give up.  Try reloading and then try again.  Since your text post did work eventually, maybe the gremlin that was grabbing you has stopped interfering.   :o

Jim, I was having the same problem. You have to make sure and change the check mark to Full Size Photo. But the main thing is too resize your photo to about 300 pix x 300 or 250.  The photo is smaller. But it put my entire photo in the post. Maybe this will help.

Thanks Steve. Not sure how I did it, but after several more attempts I got the 300X300 size to work (except it posted twice)  :D

Jim, your entry was there twice because you had entered the URL for Photobucket and also used the attach feature.  I removed the attachment and only the Photobucket URL is used now.  (I also increased the size to 590 x 600 pixels and 121 kb.)

Thanks Jeanne. It's not nearly as sharp/in focus now as my original image is, but I guess that happens when we reduce the size.

Jim, that was due to my enlarging it.  If you'd rather, I can put it back to the smaller version.

That might be better, Jeanne. It's just too blurry right now. Thanks for offering and for all of your time and hard work here.
