Any tips on making it bigger. I am sure the judges would actually like to at least see my picture.

How did it get so small? It should have been the same size as your desktop when you took it right?

It was but I couldn't connect it as an attachment as it was too big. Then somehow after saves and uploding to photobucket it got this size  :P.

I'd just upload the original straight to photobucket then put a link here, it'll crush it a lot less.

I think when you upload to photobucket you can select the option to keep it the original size or something like that.

It'll be interesting to see what Ash can do - mine will undoubtedly be third, I'm only here to bulk out the numbers.  :P
