Photography

In the few times i have entered, I have been very bummed to take care to reduce down to the file specs, resulting in an inferior version of my photo, and either don't enter, or do so realizing it looks badly vs some others - yet I became further dismayed when I realized many of the entries each month (and usually the best looking ones) far exceed the guidelines.

For me, this dismay is not about unfairness in competition (as I personally view these 'contests' as just a nice way to share and view some great photos), but that adhering to size limits in many cases degrades what we are able to share.
