Thanks Carl for the comment on my last post.
 
The obligatory shot of El Khazneh upon emerging from the Siq at Petra. Taken a few years ago with my trusty old Canon A80. I just loaded a bunch of old pics into Aperture and thought I would share this one.

I have a race photo I really like compositionally, but it is just a bit too much out of focus, so someone suggested I "watercolor" it. What do you think...

Really, really nice photo Father Jack. Great contrasts in both color and tone.

Sorry to be such a newb ... but how do you get the 'click on pic for a larger image' ??? I'd really like to be able to do that.

Cheers AxisOfBeagles, glad you like the shot .... :)

About the "click on pic for larger image" facility, I hate to say but I really don't know .. :eek::eek: I discovered that it worked but not sure why.

What I do is:
I resize the image in Photoshop CS3 and save the result as a .jpg file to my desktop and upload the image from the desktop. Not sure if uploading from the desktop rather than from flicker etc is responsible or not. It just works.

Thanks again and I'm glad you enjoyed the photo.

Nice shot! I rarely see red ones over here, just blue ones (Genus Ischnura).

I took a dragonfly pic on thursday that I liked, it's a new genus that I hadn't seen before. Taken with a Canon 400D + 100mm macro + Ring Lite:

Okay, I thought we were supposed to use TIMG tags in this thread? That's what Doylem did, and I think TIMG tags are more useful in photo of the day threads because you can see what image is being discussed but without it being a nuisance. I hear every week on here to use TIMG tags, and when we do that, the post still gets edited?

This one was a hand-counted bulb-shot. The wonder of film (as I am slowly discovering) is that you don't know if it worked until it's developed -- very annoying when you're counting "one-cat-and-dog two-cat-and-dog". I like this photo little but not big and I can't work out why. Any suggestions welcome...

Yeah, I don't see why they have all of a sudden decided to start removing quoted images. I can understand if they change a large IMG to a TIMG, but there's no point in removing a TIMG. The image is already going to be cached on everyone's computer, so it doesn't use any bandwidth. Additionally, the images don't go through the MR servers at all so it doesn't use any additional MR bandwidth.
