    Hey Soup Dragon, to resize a photo is actually quite easy; you just need to find one of the programs on your computer that will do it. You probably have something in Microsoft Office, perhaps? (Start > All Programs > Microsoft Office?)
    Or you can download the free application called Irfanview, which is what i use. Super easy.
    (I'll resize your image for now.)

    Here's one I already posted in the botany pictures forum:

    We caught several of these yesterday. The chase is so much fun. We did put them back b4 we left....ah, summer at the river....Nets are $1 at the dollar store. Totally worth the investment.

    You really should check out the 'full size' version of these pics on my flickr photo page! They're ultra cool close up!

    Kermie!

    Yeah, you're right about the close-ups! Nice work.

    I should include one of the pictures of that crazy jellyfish I showcased in another thread:
