The golden orange in this photo is beautiful, especially set against the thatch roof and the blue sky. I think this photo would show favorably in the Architecture gallery.

I'd like to be able to SUBMIT a bit bigger photo. Unfortunately, I'm limited by both resolution AND file size.

But, as usual, I'm extremely thankful that you judge my work not on the work itself but by the rigid limitations of a 150K file size limit. :)

I did...and the website wouldn't allow the submission because the file size was 15K too big.

Read below. Like most of the comments on "the pic is too small" I was forced to submit a very small photo by the site. The original is far larger.

Actually, I am limited by the file size. I attempted to upload a larger picture that was 640X? and the website would not allow it to be uploaded. I spent 45 minutes resizing the picture DOWN by 10 pixels and submitting it until I finally created one small enough that the website would allow it.

The original is approximately 2K vertical by 1.5K horizontal.

Lee -

The original photo as well as the retouched version I did in photoshop is much higher resolution. However, when I attempted to upload a version that was 640x? it was too large. I had no choice but to make it smaller.

Regardless of resolution, if it exceeds a certain file size then I can't submit it!

I want you to evaluate my work for THE WORK, not the resolution.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Hey, Justin. I think that this image is very well done both technically and compositionally. Unfortunately, I do think that i loses some of its impact due to the small size of it. As most of your comments stated, the size was a little bit too small for people to get an accurate understanding of exactly what was going on in the shot.

BUT DONT LET THIS DISCOURAGE YOU M'BOY! :) Keep submitting...but try to make the shots a little bit bigger as your camera is more than able to make a 640 pixel sized shot. If you need help resampling, you can view the Tutorial about it or give me a PM.

So go out there and take some more shots. If you are in Tibet, DPC viewers and voters will be more than eager to see a part of the world that we rarely get a look at and that we don't understand.

Lastly, I think this shot is slightly underexposed, although I could se how the blown out candle flames could be a problem. So my advice to you would be to just try again. Good diagonals btw---really strengthens the composition.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to PM me.

Thanks for submitting---looking foward to seeing more from you,
Lee
