    Note: Sorry but I had to resize the pics due to size limitation for attachments. (25% of original size, 1280x768, with Fine quality)

    looks great but then.. that's because of the downsampling :)

    most important is that u like it! personal satisfaction is all that matters.

    Hmm... I can't really comment because the pictures are really small. Of course, I am using a monitor resolution of 1280x960 so EVERYTHING looks smaller. :haha:

    lung, if you downsize, try for 640x480. That's a nice size, I think. Not too big, not too small. You don't have to worry about the file size. Chai has increased the limit to 150KB. :thumb:

    A tip on composition -

    Don't always centre your subject as it often leads to a mediocre image. Use the Rule Of Thirds to compose your images better:

    - Roughly divide your frame into nine segments so that you'll have two imaginary vertical lines and two horizontal lines running across the frame

    - Try to get your subject to intersect at least one vertical and/or one horizontal line


    Example:
