And that's the thing. The shots took too long to open, and most here had better things to do than wait. People suggested that smaller file sizes might be more user friendly, & you flew off the handle at the suggestion of using .jpg's. When the means of viewing is getting in the way of doing so, it is a valid target for comment & criticism. You could be the best photographer on the face of the planet with, many images worth viewing, but because of your refusal to use well accepted web design practices, & make a few small technical compromises (that will make no difference to the intent of any image), many people will just skip over them. Personally, I dislike computer monitors as a way to view photographs. I much prefer a good hard copy print. But if I only ever showed my prints, the number of people who would be able to see and comment on my photos would be very small indeed.
