It was an experimental photo, and I was happy to see it turn out. I love shooting raspberries and this one works!

However, the image tightens up and looks fine on my cellphone. My only suggestion is that you try to further sharpen the image and replace the original. To replace your entry click on the Options button, click the "Edit this post" link, remove your original link, add the new link with your revised image, check the image in Preview and finally click Update.

I’ve used Imgur for quite a while now without any problems. Not this time. I have tried for days to post my photo but it will only post a link, not the photo. That’s why I had to delete my first post. All my photos are jpgs when I upload them to Imgur but the copy link doesn’t bring them over to DU as a jpg. I’ve been working on this for over an hour and no matter what I do, it just won’t work. Imgur is doing it with photos I’ve saved and previously posted here. I tested that out.

Frustrating.

If you've been using Direct Link and not accidentally clicking on Image Link, your photos ought to post. Perhaps you could try using one of the other free hosting sites. The Submissions thread will remain open until around 8 am tomorrow.
