From my archives: My interpretation of the Scottish Highlands
You nailed it!
Looks great! The surface is really superb.
Agree! That's certainly a typical Highland sky. (Sun is always out somewhere, usually in the distance. :) ) Walked through several landscapes like this. An abandoned croft would not be out of place here.
Nice, great surface, indeed.
Thank you all very much!
I've never been to the Highlands before, but the scenery I started by chance has simply evolved into the "Highlands" over time.
That's very close to perfect - just like the highlands.
Nice landscape. Sky seems a bit bright, though.
地面是真实的，天空应该持续。
Great ground. Nice render!

I'd say you nailed it.
Nailed it, absolutely no critique for this...Well done.
A brighter day somewhere in the Highlands...
better and better. but the first one is my preference.
Another imaginary view of the Highlands: a lake in early morning fog.
Looks nice.
You posted as PNG. My internet isn't slow but your image does load slow. Have a look here too by the way :)

Thank you!
I can't reproduce your problem here. In my case the picture is loading from the website immediately. The picture is already optimized for the internet (Pixelmator offers such a function). The original picture is 10x bigger (about 14MB, for printing, if necessary). Do you have the problem always with my pictures or only with this one? My uploaded pictures always have about 1-1.5 MB.

I think the other loaded slow too but this one was especially slow.
Another lovely Highlands image. (Keep them coming - can't do too many of those.)
I think Kadri's point (he can correct me if I'm mistaken) is that the large file sizes don't affect just load time, but also consume server space and bandwidth. There really isn't much need to post images larger than 1 mb, you don't gain that much. I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of resaving your latest as a jpeg. At 311 kb it's about 23 percent the size of the original. If you look very closely you can see a slight degradation in quality, but not much.
Your original used 8-bit indexed color, so you may want to look at your Pixelmator settings. It must have saved it that way to optimize it for the internet, but you're losing a lot of color fidelity. RGB is best for photos.
I usually save images at 80 percent jpeg quality for uploading here.
Whatever. Please keep posting! Your images are great.

Exactly.
But except slow loading i don't care of course (sorry Matt :D ).
