Post your best bird shots!

Hey Rich,


you need to eliminate the shadows on the black of the bird. And it's also slightly underexposed. Fix that, and it's a winner, though [H]

Hey Brendan,


Thanks for the comments!


I upped the exposure a little, and then upped the contrast which made the black darker. Let me know what you think.

I have a question.., perhaps someone can help?


I noticed that when I delete a photo from the "My Files Section" under my "username" to make room to upload other photos, then that same photo also gets deleted from the original post and thread. Is this suppose to happen or am I uploading the photos to the thread incorrectly?


In other words, how can I delete a photo from "My Files" without deleting them from the thread?


Thanks,


Rich

You can't - that's the way it works. When you upload a photo to the TDP website, the image is being hosted by TDP. When you post it in a thread, that's a link to the original hosted image. If you delete the hosted image, the links to it fail. You're limited to 5 MB of images hosted on TDP, which is a pretty low limit, and why you need to delete some to make room for others.


Instead, consider hosting your images elsewhere - Flickr, ImageShack, etc. They have much higher storage limits, and you can easily post your images in the threads here (by pasting the image URL from the host site into the Insert Media dialog when you write a post).
