Did a little shoot with Dingo tonight, I got some really great shot. I narrowed it down to 4 tail shots that I could enter, but one really shined among the four, imo. Good luck Dingo!

*edit: I'm having issues uploading a pic this time.... I fill out all the fields and whatnot, and after it sits for like 3 mins with the loading circle thingy, it refreshes the page to say "Invalid file - No image to display". Never had this issue before, help?

I am having the same issue.. it keeps saying it is an invalid file.. It is a JPEG like always.

????????????

Ok I figured out the problem (at least for me) Make sure your photo less than 4MB.

Mine was 4.38MB and it wouldn't upload.. I reduced it slightly and it uploaded fine

lol same here then I guess, I just check the file size just now and mine's 7.65 MB. Derp, I guess checking the file size would have made sense to do.... lol
So weird though, I don't think any of my pictures are normally that big!

jeeez, I was waiting for ChaChi to finish shedding to get a tail pic, but I don't think he could compete -- there are some pretty awesome looking tails out there.

idk about you, but my boy was also shedding and I liked the idea of having a bit of shed in there; add a bit of 'imperfection' and interest to it imo.
I was gonna enter this pic, but I choose the other one because I thought it had better composition.
So I say enter, even if he is shedding! A shedding pic could make it more interesting

Well thank you, I may reconsider.

Comparing the original size of each image can help and is recommended. Photos should not only be judged by the chameleon displayed, but also on composition and image quality.
