| The photo I'm trying to submit is horizontal that measures 1000 X 331. Also I 've read here the categories should not hold a lot of weight when a person is trying to get their photos judged on quality. For example I see a lot of photos in abstract that are not abstract at all they are just buildings. So when I see this I look at the photo for it's quality. So I believe it would be much better to put your photos where they will fit size wise or in the closest appropriate category. Thanks again to all for the help. Alan J

| You can pad out the image until it meets the mininum 2:1 aspect ratio requirement so it may be loaded into any category. . If it is 1000 x 331 then add a boarder 85 pixels wide to the top and bottom of the image. That will make the file size 1000 x (331+85+85) = 1000 x 501 and it will upload into any category. . For a better presentation choose the same background color for display as you did for the boarder and it should pretty seamlessly merge together to display your image at the higher aspect ratio. . There are a couple of examples of this padding technique here and here. WE

Alan - you're doing yourself proud!! Very well done to you!!!
You've managed to advance because of the votes received from your fellow photographers. We/they obviously have a great respect for the images that you're producing - keep them coming!!
I think it's Martin Kemp's bird images that have impressed me more recently - due to the sharpness and crispness of the shots....very, very impressive! However, Alan has been doing great and I've certainly got much admiration for both the images that he's producing and for his well deserved advancement within DA!!!
Alan - ignore the snipers and keep doing what you are doing!!
All the best!
If you want the rainbow - you gotta put up with the rain.
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel sooooo good!
