Thanks Ted!
I find it quite amazing and gratifying that someone from our group has placed in all three Challenges to-date. We must be doing something right.
I really enjoy seeing all the great images that were submitted, especially to see photos from all over the world (it being an international contest).

Hi Warren, well paying off Kent probably helps ;) (just KIDDING!), but seriously, when Kent decided to only allow 200 pixels or whatever, I knew I was out. And with all due respect to everyone here, and those who played, I seriously doubt that HCB, or any serious photographer would enter a contest where you had to judge by re-sizing already mega compressed images to thumbnail sizes. Sorry for the Friday rant ;)
Well, Kent's restrictions were: 1200 pixels on the long side, and max 300k file size which is hardly a thumbnail size. I understand that it may be thumbnail sized to you though. In my opinion, this is certainly large enough to be able to judge online, these characteristics: subject, composition, lighting, exposure, and other subjective things such as message, feeling, vision, etc.
Sorry Ted, I but do believe that everyone who entered this contest was a serious photographer at least in their own minds. What you consider serious is of course, subjective though, and may differ.

Cute, great pose and portrait.
Lena..
Thank you Lena for the comment on Slate resting under the chair.
Warren, the images on my screens on rff and Kent's site are about 2 inches square, the rectangular ones maybe 3 inches by 2 inches. This is at the devices native resolutions, and the browser's native scaling.
When I enlarge them in the browser, to about 3x, they are pixelated, and the emotions that should accompany the images are not there for me. The mind is fooled, but the heart is not.
There are some basic technical reasons why most photo competitions or requests for images, require larger files, and I can explain this to you over coffee or a beer sometime. Thanks, and I apologize. I did not mean to offend anyone here, or those who participated in any contest, but I do feel strongly that small images lose quite a bit. And that's is why I not only didn't submit anything (in addition, I haven't developed my film images from that day yet), but I didn't judge any either, as they are simply too small and too compressed for me to comprehend.
Ted, I fully understand the technical reasons you speak of, but I would still like to have a beer or coffee with you one of these days because it's been too long since we've done that! :)
--Warren
Thanks Warren! It has been way too long! I look forward to seeing you the next time I'm down there.
