[Haole Girl]

It's not perfect, but hey....

Special thanks to Make7 and Ptah for their help and encouragement!!

:woohoo:

[Zornhau]

1. very nice!

:D

[Haole Girl]

3. Thank you...

It was our 2nd to last night in Hawaii, the last time we were there, so it has sentimental value! :D

[KitchenWitch]

2. Hawaiian sunset?

[Haole Girl]

4. Good guess!

Yes! :hi:

[DS1]

5. photographs are very difficult to compress into this ludicrously tiny 48x48 pixel limit we have here

especially sunsets.

:thumbsup:

[Haole Girl]

7. I know...

It wasn't easy... even for my brainy husband! lol!

[Haole Girl]

6. Here is a larger version of it::

8. That is an impressive piece of work

getting that much beauty into a 48x48 pixel square is awesome.

[Haole Girl]

9. Thank you! Or, I'll tell my husband you said so!

:hi:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

10. I LIKE IT.....i can climb those trees and pick cocnuts...

i was raised on miami beach, 10 siblings and we all could do it

[Haole Girl]

11. Thanks!

Sounds like great memories! :D

21. I cropped it a bit. It looks like it got smashed..

The size attribute in the HTML IMG tag here is forcing your image square.. The one on the bottom was cropped square so it isn't getting distorted.

[Haole Girl]

23. Wow!

That is even better... thank you so much!! I shall work on it some more when I get home tonight.

Even though I love the blue sky above the trees, it was impossible with 48 x 48. At least, this way, the palm trees look more like palm trees!!

Thanks again!! :D :hi:

[Omphaloskepsis]

25. Here is one with the blue sky...

I padded the left and right with white so the image won't get stretched. And it should be centered.





And I also tried filling in the missing background. It is kinda shitty but at such a small size it might work. And I'm bored and have been drinking all night.




edit :: added second pick.

[Haole Girl]

26. Oooo pretty!!

Can't wait to get home from work and upload the new one!

Thank you!! :hi:

Oddly, I didn't really drink that much last night. Thats what freaked me out :D

[Haole Girl]

27. It happens!

Our tolerance, or lack of, for alcohol can really vary at times... I know that well! :D
