Indigo bunting on walnut

This looks a nicely composed image. My main question is why is it posted so small? I like to see detail and personally I think posting to the maximum allowable size is best.

Thanks. I have had issues with this posting size. I post at 250 kb and under 800 pixels and in the past it kicks me out again and again and ....  

In fact that is one of the reasons I prefer posting head shots here to full images.

Today I posted at 225 kB. Max is 250 kB but I get kicked out for even 250 kB.

Excellent shot with bg and details

Composition does look good but as mentioned, due to the small image size, it is hard to tell about the overall quality
of the image.

Message deleted. Sorry.

Mike, I like the way the soft morning light is hitting the bird and leaves, nice singing pose and rich-looking BG.  Blue must be on your list of favorite colors.

Strange and unfortunate about your images getting kicked out, even under 250kb.  I don't know if you use Photoshop; if you do, on my last save, I go to: File: Save For Web & Devices: and in that menu on the upper right hand side, I click "Quality" and reduce it to whatever percent until image hits below 250kb.  In that menu box, you'll see your image, and on the lower left-hand side, it denotes "JPEG" and the kb size.  You can see the kb size change as you toggle the Quality percent size.  I apologize if this is not relative to you, but wanted to share what works for me.

Edit: Hey Mike, it occurred to me that a possible problem might be, that the image should be reduced to 800pxl on the long side before saving in the aforementioned steps.  Perhaps the website chooses its own size if it's bigger than 800pxls.  Anyway, hope you'll figure out solution ...

Great job getting this guy,beautiful shot

Thanks Lynn. Yes I do LOVE blue birds here ... simply because other than our wondrous Blue Jay it is not a common colour here in birds and also the bluebirds and indigo buntings are not exactly common so I am thrilled to see them.

Thanks! I reduce the length to less than 800 then reduce the file size to less than 250 kB. I am ok with all of this as long as people just accept that it is what it is with the posting restrictions.... they can see my pix bigger on 500 px if they like....

Thanks again!
