October '08 Photo Challenge - "Portraits"

[DReali]

Hi all,
I just joined today and had a few queries about entering this competition. First of all is there a limit to the size of the photo submitted (does it have to be less than 150Kb?).....and secondly, do i copy and paste the photo to the e-mail AND attach it or do i just pate it in there?
Cheers,
Dave

Based on my understanding, yes it has to be smaller than 150KB (file size on disk) and you should attach it to the email.

You're not allowed to post the title of your photo? I must have missed that somewhere.

Cheers Jeremy! And Kittyy, as far as I understood the title is optional

Hi everyone,

Alright, it's time to start recycling some old challenge themes. "Portraits" was probably my favorite challenge from way back when it seemed like just about everyone took part. I think we can double the number of photos this time around tough (just don't ask me how many photos there were the first time). I will tell you this much though the winner of the last Portrait challenge was CrazyAva. Her winning photo can be found here (Warning: May not be safe for work) http://thephotoforum.com/gallery/files/96-200406-CrazyAva.jpg

All photos must include the form when submitted. Just copy and paste it into your email. This will ensure that no mistakes are made when photos are submitted and therefore, hopefully, no photos are excluded. If the form is not included in the submission email the photo will not be included in the challenge gallery and voting process.

There is more important information regarding rules and procedures located in the FAQ section. We highly recommend that you take the time to read these FAQs.
Good luck to everyone and have fun with this challenge!

*150KB will be taken as the “size on disk” and not the actual file size. Also some email programs consider 1KB=1000Bytes as oppposed to 1KB=1024Bytes. When these programs calculate attachment size they will often read larger then they actually are. To be safe we recommend a target size of about 140KB so that once sent it does not go over 150KB.

You're not allowed to post the title of your photo? I must have missed that somewhere.
