Here's my final entry.

Thanks for the quick response to my suggestion, Burnout.

Does anybody think that there should be a limit on the dimensions of a photo? For example, maximum landscape width (640 pixels), maximum potraight height (640 pixels). I think this would give a better impression of the photos when they were all viewed on the same page. Not for this comp. though, Joey's picture could find it's way to my desktop in the near future ;)

Again, what do you guys think?

I could always resize for the final poll.

We could say maximum of 640 landscape, 640 potrait, or if you want larger to use a thumbnail to the image, I don't know.

👍 👎 :confused:
 
use 400x300 thumbnails, and have links to the real images. For the contest I think it'd be best if 800x600 was the size limit. If you don't know how to make a image link just type this. use [ in place of <

I ike that idea of the winner choosing the next theme. Should you also make a rue (hard to enforce I imagine) That the photo has to be taken that week?

Na.

The way I look at it is, in a month or two, people will be out of those 'amazing' pictures they've got lucky taken and will have to either go take a picture, or settle for something sub-par. 👍
 
I can see where you're coming from, but we definately should not have a 'must be taken this week' rule. As long as you're the one that took the photo, then I don't think it matters whether you took it this week, last month or last year. Surely we just want to see good photos, right?

I'm just saying that eventually, after a few months or what's not, all of the really nice photos on selected themes will be gone, and to have a nice photo they'd have to go take it that week, or settle for something sub-par.

Sorry, Burnout. I was more directing my comments to Blake's original suggestion.
 
Five hours and two minutes.
I'd leave the pictures the way they are, dimensionally. I doubt if there's any real difference imposed on them by being a certain size, save a slight bump in smoothness after being downsized a bit (with the correct software) in some cases. If such a stipulation were ever to be put into place, I suggest the entries all be left alone until the time of voting so that one person - The Almighty Burnout - can resize them all in exactly the same manner to avoid that being an actual quality-altering thing.

Although that's probably more technical than this competition has to be.
We're all level-headed here.

You're my mom?
 
You should see it.
The IDE controller and heatsink are gold.

Where is this Pacific International held?
 
I wish I had a digital camera at my place here... =(

FINAL ENTRY

Photo: I think everyone knows what that is.
Place: My bedroom.
Time: Around 5AM after a night filled with sleeping disorders.
Camera: A crappy Logitech webcam. Unfortunately. That's why I kept the resolution rather low.

PS. I think teazR wrote something really really true on page 4. I only can second what he said. 👍
