Post by: NWBREW on April 01, 2011, 12:09:11 AM: You might have a winner there nwhunter...................does it need resizing?

I think 800x600 is max. I just went back and looked and it seems there are 6 pics that maybe to large. :dunno: Maybe not though....could be just me. :chuckle:

I would hate to see some of these not get included because they were to large. This shows the most important aspect of the outdoors..........and life. FAMILY.
Title: Re: MARCH Photo of the Month Contest
Post by: nwhunter on April 01, 2011, 12:41:57 PM: Thanks, I did resize it not sure why it still shows the original size. Maybe I screwed it up this isn't my area of expertise, oh well still a cool pic to share. nwhunter
