Just one silly question - have you had any inquiries from a non-citizen of the planet earth?

Yes once, but they may have been lying.

Is anyone entering the contest??? It expires Oct 1, and so far ONLY three entrees and there are three prizes. Great odds for them, huh.

**Blakehil** · 09-07-2005, 09:53 PM

I will be entering by/on september 15th.

**Republikin** · 09-07-2005, 09:53 PM

You probably don't have very many contestants because you really don't give the contest a theme. I mean I could send you a picture of a dead rat but I have no clue if that is what your looking for so why bother?

I would enter but it says image cant exceed 600x600 and be over 100k. My image is really nice, I must admit, but it is large, and I don't want to enter a picture with reduced quality. When I enter a contest, I want to enter a picture at its finest, not a computer processed image if you know what I mean... I guess I will find a different contest that will accept my picture.

Hello,
Hey, Marcom10, You can optimize that picture in two ways. Optimization is the process of fine-tuning the display quality and file size of an image for use on the Web or other online media. Adobe Photoshop and Adobe ImageReady give you an effective range of controls for compressing the file size of an image while optimizing its online display quality.

There are two methods of optimizing images:

For basic optimization, the Photoshop Save As command lets you save an image as a GIF, JPEG, or PNG. Depending on the file format, you can specify image quality, background transparency or matting, color display, and downloading method.

For precise optimization, you can use the optimization features in Photoshop or ImageReady to preview optimized images in different file formats and with different file attributes. You can view multiple versions of an image simultaneously and modify optimization settings as you preview the image to select the best combination of settings for your needs. You can also specify transparency and matting, select options to control dithering, and resize the image to specified pixel dimensions or a specified percentage of the original size.

Can we see your picture now?

Enter it anyway, if you will and I publish it, I can crunch it without ruining the quality.

Why do you need a theme? All it requires is our url and creativity. I guess creativity is the theme (if you need one).

Excellent photo, but you didn't incorperate our url (www.SearchBliss.com) into the image. Can you do this, then re-submit?

**marcom10** · 09-09-2005, 07:54 AM

Oh you want me to watermark?

Tell me first, do I have a good chance of winning or should I not bother

**kline11** · 09-09-2005, 10:37 AM

It's a nice photo, and if you can add our url in a creative way to it, then yes you have a good chance. So far there are only 7 entries, and 3 prizes. Great odds, don'y you think.
