Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Let me know what you think. The lighting actually came from me covering the lens with my fingers and leaving a crack between middle and pointer.

Next time please post an image that is not this wide I can't remember the actual size recommened but somewhere in the 600 range. I think the colors and texture in this image is really nice. I would straighten the image first and try posting a smaller version so it's easier to see the whole image it will be easier for people to critique your photo.

Based on the work I do in rescaling images (using HTML - a stop gap measure that doesn't reduce bandwidth but does at least fit things on the page), Photobucket is not a very web-friendly hosting site; it doesn't seem to provide alternative sizes and the link goes back to the main PB site rather than the photo.

Personally, I am happy to recommend flickr.com (see link in my sig) and there are also other comparable options like zoomr and the like that let you share your images much more flexibly.
