Looks like a great shot, but why did you make it so small?

The guidelines said to make it less than 1024 in width and it must be less than 150K to be uploaded.  I kept trying to keep it as large of a screen size, but the kb's forced me into a 566 x 395 size.

Unless you can give me a hint how to get it lower kb and higher size.  It's my first try at it.

try this

by the way I like the  the sky textures in your shot, as well as the sun reflecting off the aircraft.
Nice choice of scenery too

Take a read of some of Hagar's resizing posts - pretty much tells the tale.

Thanks for the link/tutorial.  I've now got Infranview with the plugins and made the edit.

Now...perhaps a silly question.  With the new enhancement, can I just add the screenshot in a reply to the first post or should I make an entire new submission?  (just want to do things the right way)

Thanks.

Sorry but you can only enter one shot for the contest, but you can put it in the Freeware (or Payware or whatever) sections.

Send Fly2e (Dave) a pm and see what he says. He runs the contest and it is his call. You are only allowed to enter once, but technically it's the same entry. You are only bringing it up to max size allowed. Good luck.

If you edit your first post just by a resized version of your shot it's pretty much legal! Though no other enhancement...

I just edited the original, got it lower in KB but still at the 1024 max.  No other changes.  Based on your comments, I hope that keeps me in the running.

Gottfried Razek's (Blue Sky) scenery is amazing.  I've actually been to the Navajo Bridge a couple of times, and this is pretty darn realistic!  I've actually got a panaramio entry taken off the Navajo Bridge looking South that I took in 1997 that's now part of Google Earth.

Thanks for the resizing tips.  They ought to be part of the rules.

Sorry folks.  I had to make one more modification.  This is just to the text where I give credits.  A more appropriate mention.

Still, I hope THAT doesn't take me out of the running.

This is what happens when you're new to the process.
