Description Taken from the Skagit River RoozenGaarde farm fields. 

With Mt Baker in the background, the fields are coming alive with the yellow of the daffodil fields. They're running late this year, but it is amazing what a few sunny and down right hot last day of winter / first day of spring can do. The flowers are taking full advantage of the very unusual warm summery weather.

Hi, may I try making a photostudy painting using this lovely photo as a reference?

I dunno, this photo just screams to me "I wanna become a painting!"

It's very impressive. Between the details for the flowers to the color on the mountains...  wow!

And I'd love to see it larger assuming the download function still cropped it smaller.

Thank you, that was fun to paint.

Here is original size in my stash

I usually resize files before I upload them, especially since our belowed eclipse's zoom pretty much renders uploading really large files pointless

First, that you again, I've got it safely stored away.

As for the later, I hadn't given that much consideration before as I've been uploading from my hoard of old images or new photographs. But you raise a very valid point. Why upload quality work to show off it it's just going to be blown up by Eclipse so that the full image isn't viewable or overmagnifies details. I had hoped that flaw was restricted to just journal headings and the banner spaces. I had hoped it was just the smaller image viewing area that was causing the file split / scroll vs allowing a screen sized window view.  For crying out loud, all the other sites have managed a variation on this trick. So it can't be that hard.

I mostly meant the weird pop up thingy when zooming, showing a small part of image at 100%, interfered with two scrollbars, while the zoomed out view is too small. With this zooming method, uploading high resolution files will only create additional inconvenience to the viewers.

Well, for myself personally I kinda found a "solution", which is rigth-clicking on the image and choosing "open", but, using a quote from a movie which name I dont even remember, "it's not an exit, it's an emergency exit".

I think I saw a better alternative at Hentai Foundry. When opening the picture, a nearly screen sized window opened showing a full picture as well as notice - picture has been resized to fit your screen. It then offers a click to original size and the scroll bars.
