  •  Comment I'm not crazy about the pic because of the stuff in the background and the water bottle, but I think automatically throwing out a picture because it's 1.92 Mpx instead of 2.00 Mpx is plain silly. I mean, seriously - 0.08 megapixels???? Soljaguar, you should just photoshop this baby up to 1633x1225 (keeps everything in proportion) and let the pic be judged on merit rather than petty technicalities.

There is a workaround on this silly thing. Just vote with a support and the show goes on :). --Richard Bartz 18:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
> I threw the pic not for a mere 1.92 size, but just for the try of the FP contest. However, thank you JaGal for the second -and valuable- part of your comment. Thank you Richard. --Soljaguar 08:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment On the basis of recent votes here, upscaling is one thing that will definitely disqualify a picture. The way to get around the minimum size guideline is for the contributor to upload a version at higher resolution. The probable reason this one is so small it's that it's been downsampled, which many voters here don't approve of unless it's done for a technical (as opposed to a commercial) reason. --MichaelMaggs 17:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
> I just uploaded it the original size. Thank you for your comment.--Soljaguar 08:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
> I´d have love to knew more about the reason of your comment. However, thank you.--Soljaguar 08:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
> Thank you very much for your comment. The picture was uploaded as is, with no manipulation at all.--Soljaguar 08:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

> Thank you for your comment. I think the moment depends on what someone is looking for in it. I have a couple more pictures of the same series, where the writer is looking up. However, I wanted this one, since he is a great reader and I wanted to remind that to those who where in the same room that day and enjoyed his reading.--Soljaguar 08:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
