I really feel lucky and honored by having one of my images selected among such awesome photo works! Congratulations to all who were selected!
Thanks a lot!

Oops...
I just found out what was the problem. It was totally my fault. A utility program on my computer was set to shrink the uploaded images (automatically, in the background). Now I disabled this function and everything uploads as before.
My apology.
And again -- thank you for trying to help me!
Have a nice day!

Thank you kgb224 for your help!
I will send an email.**

**kgb224, thank you for your reply.
I am aware of size limits and always upload within those limits.
About zooming -- that's my point -- it doesn't zoom, but in the zoom window shows the same size picture as in preview.

-- We can learn from all disciplines..

I agree. Learning and refining our intuition in the process...

-- Do you dismiss science as somehow below art!

I really do. Especially today, when "science" and "scientific" became such garbage words, and if anything is not "scientific", then it's just not right. Including art! That's why I reacted the way I did in my previous statement --  I am just tiered of  "science in art " talk. :)
Besides that I absolutely agree with what you and Linus Pauling said, and he WAS a great scientist. :)

"... worthy of a science" !????

As if science is something absolutely superior that art has to look up at, and measure itself against... And as if we don't have enough artists that we have to quote a scientist. WOW!...

"This is sooo not you, Geert..."

Long time ago in the art school our "painting" teacher used to tell us: "if an artist had found his/her style -- consider him/her dead (as an artist)..."
Constant search for something new is a true creative process. Pleasing audience is not such a bad thing, and if it doesn't become THE ONLY GOAL, it could bring you some new turns and angles in your creative process, it can bring you closer to your actual audience.
A searching artist doesn't promis the audience one style, but promises to be true to constant creative search (even by making mistakes).
I know this is a bit off the subject of this thread -- just wanted to comment.
Thank you.

I am speechless -- my modest photo among these great works of photographic art! I am very grateful for this. Thank you for all your hard work! I imagine  that it's not easy choosing images from so many beautiful pictures here at Renderosity.

Once I posted a picture and somebody commented on it in a way that made me think that the title doesn't suit the picture, so I went ahead and changed the title. And after that I saw that people's comments were more appropriate to the idea of the picture.

Sometimes  I leave feedback on images that amazed me in some way and I try to specify what particularly I like. More often I just enjoy a picture and it's hard for me to pinpoint the reason, so I just exclaim.
There are instances when I see an annoying photoshop effect or other quality that I don't like -- but I see that an author is really into using it throughout his/her collection, in that case I just ignore that author -- that's a matter of taste.

Another matter of business when an author is asking  for constructive feedback... but I haven't seen those often.

I am very honored and thankful to all of you for including one of my images among such a great selection of photos! Thank you for your hard work and congratulations to all!
