EDIT: The winner is **JayS** with Water Balloon vs Knife. Great shot!! I liked all of the pictures in their own way, I’ll write up what I liked and would personally have done different. Big :tup: for everyone who submitted, not bad for the first contest 🙂 JayS gets to pick the theme for June. 1.

> [@chino](#): > > i think you need to up the filesize a bit, its forcing the pictures to look kinda crappy 😛 Or just make the picture smaller. 500k would seem more reasonable though. I like bigger resolutions because it makes it very difficult for a photographer to hide mistakes in focus or exposure. ---

I liked the ability to just attach them as a file to the post and there is a max size limit, so I think 200 is fair. The pictures themselves can be physically smaller which would make it look better. edit: Also, feel free to post something when you vote so it will bump the thread 🙂 ---
