Well I sent my FIRST CONTEST entry in today. part of me wanted to wait until the last second, but I felt I did good for my first attempt. We got some outstanding photographers on here, so I doubt I'll get any serious votes. It was exciting going out to shoot with the thought that a lensbabie is up for grabs......reallity sucks though :(

Good luck everyone and I hope I captured the essence of the topic.

Resize it in pixel height/width and about 150 DPI then save it as a jpg.

About 600 pixels the longest way should get you there or close at least!

I have 6MP and I resize mine to 600/520 or vice versa depending on lanscape or portrait (which is 8x10 in size) and it comes in well under the 150kb.

wOOt! I want Lensbaby!!!

I just joined too and used this picture I took over the spring break. I doubt it's terribly good but it's awesome just to enter a picture in a contest.

Well, I was checking out a few photography fora wondering which one to try out first, but when I saw this contest I rushed to sign up as I happen to have a shot I like that fits the theme. So here comes my junk, wish me luck!
EDIT: Really REALLY wish me luck - that pic is not quite as cool as I hoped, but I sent it on in anyway. After all, one person's junk is another person's lensbaby!

30 minutes until the day is over. Of course, this is west coast time. This is the first time that I have entered this contest.....how long until we get to see the photos?
