Can I vote for Fuzz now, or do I have to wait?

Can I vote for Fuzz now, or do I have to wait?

Oh come on, there will be tons of great entries. Besides, I'm out of town until the 18th, so no astro-shots from me this time.

[kidwoo]

Gotta figure out a way to shoot my farts pronto!

[Tap]

should be some good entries with the spring atmospherics...

last night, quite a show

[HotDiggity]

[advres]

Lonnie, you may see them but we don't...

[Fuzz]

Nope, I can't see 'em either. Says "Content protected by owner".

[Fuzz]

Still nothing for me, even after a forced refresh.

[advres]

I see them now.

[Fuzz]

Yup, seeing them now too.

Bean, that looks like a cool shot, but the compression (I think) is killing it.

[Edgnar]

Hey Lonnie, can I come live on your back deck? Nice view!

[crackboy]

i took some stuff at the Josh Ritter concert i just went to this week, just need to get them off my camera

[powdork]

lake of the atmosphere

[Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer]

Cool stuff powdork!

[Dromond]

Good stuff! Keep them coming. (They don't have to be literally pictures of sky/atmosphere.)

[uglymoney]

I'll post my favorite edit of this shot (version 6.9) here since it is eligible.

[powdork]

beautiful shot. looks like you took the advice from the other thread. another suggestion.
i notice a little fuzziness on the treeline from your picture being resized (i don't notice it when viewing it full size). the forum software is resizing your image -->> 1,024px × 756px (scaled to 1,000px × 738px)
i'm guessing the limiting factor is the width and i think you'll have better results if you reupload it at that size.


edit post-- it might be cool to upload a new pic (resized to 1000px width), to see if that actually makes a difference.

[Todds]

Uglymoney - great shot.


===========================
I went for a hike in the fog/rain.
