Upload to flickr. Click the little download icon in lower left of picture frame, click view all sizes. Click the size you want to link to. Right click image, copy image address. Paste that here.

Can any Flickr users explain how you share (host) images on FM.
This is how I do it.
Once I have uploaded an image, I click on the image to open it. Then, in the lower right you'll see a little curved arrow that is the share button. Click, then click on BBCode. Choose the size you want to share ( I usually use large 1600x1068), then copy the URL code in the box and paste in your post on FM.
EDIT broke links because they all worked Seems flickr shrunk one dimension by 1 pixel

Sorry not so much the horizon though I did kind of “see” that. But on a small screen I assume it’s me. But I think if you have the shoreline in the foreground horizontal it would pop more. BUT sometimes that does funny things to the boat etc as they get stretched.
Again, was a random thought, not meant as a criticism, the composition is a great one.

Matt,
Though my left eye has been distorting the geometry of everything since last October - I have been seeing a retinal specialist, and it is getting better. My right eye was losing acuity, and then my brain tries to make sense of it all by making up some weird blend of the two. But I think offshore mirages - that blank out the horizon in spots - is what may explain the horizon looking off + the distances and angle. Perhaps these visual will help.

Agree, there are some great photographers locally and we do have good scenery. I’m happy to have made it into the finals, but appreciate the votes. Vote Early, Vote Often?

You have some stiff competition there, Matt and the competition sees and shoots some of the places you shoot at too. Nice neighbourhood. It says you can vote twice a day, so can just keep going every day? Used my quota for today.

Thanks for the likes, comments, and help on trying a different hosting solution. More Fuji Provia RDP from 1993 - and not only were my eyes better, but I had way more hair - bonus. 35-105mm ais
Looking about 45 degrees left of the first image from the last batch
pretty bits
An extremely rare self portrait - in 1997 I sat on the top four inches of this rock drinking wine, watching the moon - with water up to my knees. The big lake breathes over time

If anyone uses Social Media and feels like helping, this shot with the 20mm f/3.5 AI made the finalists for the local news calendar. First prize is $500 (which would undoubtedly but more Nikon glass!) Not sure if shameless self promotion is okay, but here it is.
Thanks Serge. Does seem like a suggestion worth taking on. I have these seasons where it feels like I must prune the herd a bit but that 105 has never been a candidate, yet I don't use it enough. This must change.
I guess there will be no US Open pictures this year .

I was looking forward to the US Open but ticket prices this year were outrageous. I have never seen such price escalation/gouging before. It was just to rich for my blood.

That's a bummer. I was listening to some podcast that had Kirsten Corio(USTA) on late last week and thought you'd probably be one of the 957K people that had tickets. She made it seem like it was record crowds this year but was quite dismissive of the cost, saying if you want cheap tickets, buy early. Oh well.

Siphiwe, we always buy the tickets as soon as they become available, day passes for the first two days.
Last year, the day pass ticket price was $135/ person.This year the exact same was $350/person buying as early as possible. I suspect one of the large ticket resale companies purchased the lot and were reselling with an absurd markup.
