I love the theme of this picture and how it was taken.

Next time make sure your bar at the top is removed or cut it out and this picture looks like compression really hurt it, its not two clear make sure when you resize it its clear.

Just a few mistakes that can be fixed and this picture would be looking really good. ;)

Make sure no text is showing. picture is a bit on the small side. compression looks like it did murder the shot. but  I like the idea of your shot. and for your first shot its pretty good.

Okay:

The shot can be bigger. You are allowed up to 1024 pixels wide, and it can be up to 150kb. That will most likely solve your compression problem.

You should always wait for the text to go away before taking the shot. Make sure the pause text is off before you hit the V key. Press and hold ALT to get rid of the bar on top.

The angle is nice and the background is good. The idea is good, but there is so much empty water in front. I'd recommend cropping that away. That will also help your compressing problem.

Hope it helps.

Hi Canuck, I just got your email today, are you still getting this error or have you resolved it?  It looks like you figured it out and got the shot posted...
