- Ninjab3ar, on 10/11/2007, -9/+84Woah, I've seen the your/you're, I've seen their/there, but NEVER have I seen a person confuse "too" with "two"........
WOW - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+65Hugh're wright. They our two small.
- insinuate, on 10/11/2007, -0/+25You can really see the detail in that crisp 380x252 resolution!
- Grimdotdotdot, on 10/11/2007, -2/+27"two bad four me", surely?
- diggdong, on 10/11/2007, -20/+41Prints are two small to appreciate the pictures. :(
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18You're spelling are two bad for me.
- KMye, on 10/11/2007, -11/+23I'm sorry, I can't stop myself..."too" small...anyway, in light of the recent online thefts, I'm glad the Smithsonian left them that small; now they won't end up for sale somewhere(s) unbeknownst to the photographers...
- Sil369, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Tworiffic!!!
- Clane07226, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Digg is like an internet locust swarm.
- jesstech, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7And as long as they stay that size, they will be The Most Beautiful Pictures.
Seriously, these are contest entries. I doubt the original photographer is even left rights to the photo when all's said and done. Give us something a little more suited for the typical 1600x1200 display nowadays, guys.
I half expected some 'Plz don't steal images' javascript-fu. - kinseyincanada, on 10/11/2007, -6/+12pics or it didnt happen...oh wait
- t3hCyborg, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6http://photocontest.smithsonianmag.com/v4/natural8.html
Anyone else see a pointy boob here and not a botanical garden? - afrojap, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Higher res pics or it didn't happen.
- KMye, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I grew up in Oregon and I've never seen any storm like that. AMAZING :P
- undersky, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4speechless...
http://photocontest.smithsonianmag.com/v4/natural8.html - shortarabguy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4No, this is still appropriate. You hardly see any of the detail which probably made these photos finalists for the contest at all. I say "probably" because we can never be sure.
- shortarabguy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4You didn't notice the "please don't steal our photos" thing? It was pretty effective, I thought. They made the images so small that you felt annoyed just looking at them. That puts downloading the things out of the question now, doesn't it?
- KMye, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5/spelling police morons die of heart attacks (even if it was on purpose ;) )
- Klainmeister, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Wow, i saw that storm in Amity Oregon driving up I-5. I got one crappy picture of those clouds and was baffled. Never seen anything like that before, it was gorgeous.
- KoZo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3nice photos, those ants are really doing things we don't really know.... maybe those are energy crystals..
- PsychoticClown, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3"That puts downloading the things out of the question now, doesn't it?"
And it puts appreciating the photos out of the question too. - maffiou, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Images are small in resolution, but not in size 150kB for 380x250 ? WTF ?
I'm surprised they're still up dispite the digge effct - GeneralKickass, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I like the bird and the fish one. That guy sure must have put some work in to get that shot.
- MikeGunn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Get a bigger monitor.
- superguysteve, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I can't believe the britney spears gonch shot was not at least nominated.
- h4ppydotcom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2umm... I think that's kind of the 'point'
- shortarabguy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Cool photos, maybe they'll post higher resolution images when they come up with a final winner.
- jared9985, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That picture of the storm would make a fantastic background image....for my PDA
seriously, give us something bigger ffs - superguysteve, on 10/11/2007, -1/+222222 mall.
- universltravlr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1very balanced journalism, it will be interesting to see how this pans out
- joeTaco, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Beautiful pictures, but... if someone can find higher resolution copies, I'll love them forever. Google has failed me.
- rasterbator, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I guess they do not want people pulling the photos down for use as desktops. :-(
- smaisch, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Digg killed the Smithsonian Website! Not just that directory, the entire server!
- rasterbator, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Diggers please:
Go to the site and let the Smithsonian know that you would like to see more detail, i.e. larger images on the web site. Here is the address to send feedback:
http://photocontest.smithsonianmag.com/v4/feedback.php - daliminator, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0That's why it's "Beautiful!"
I mean, duh. - ronmac321, on 02/18/2008, -0/+0A lot of time was put into all of these, great photos, all of them. Check out these ones http://www.babiesphotocontest.info for more.
- spudfrog, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Just the magazine site. Main site is fine.
- scingram, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0You can see more of Trey Ratcliff (the shot with the monkey on the wall) here:
http://flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/277010729/in/set-72057594049344877/
Trey is a HDR master and is otherwise know by his blog "Stuck in Customs"..... - osarhan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1nice pix!
- attention, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1omfg they are so meaningful. -***** himself with artsy fartsyness-
- ares623, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0the page is dead? awwww... :(
- merwin, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Is it just me or does the Botanical Garden picture (2nd column, 3rd pic down) look like a breast with a semi-melted hershey's kiss on it?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Well it could just as well be an arse with a semi-melted blah ..blah.. blah on it.
- snapneck, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0The green botanical garden pic looks like a stretched nipple in profile
- koven, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Pfff Smithsonian, i'd be more impressed if it was from the Jeffersonian.
- ShazerFox, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Agreed with above about the small size. For example, the monkey's face is hardly visible.
I'm sure the pictures are nice when viewed larger...... - 52tease, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1http://duggmirror.com/offbeat_news/Beautiful_The_Smithsonian_Magazine_Photo_Contest_Winners_PICTURES/
- cklol, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1These photos really aren't that amazing at all... I've seen better stuff in my own gallery and on Flickr.
- pyry, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0Can we calm the hell down about the spelling errors? So long as you know what's being said that's the important part. There's this thing called 'context', you see...
Anyway, it's not like everyone here speaks/uses English as a native language. Expect errors, just like you'd expect accents from people actually speaking. - isewise, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Is it necessary to put "pictures" in all caps when earlier in the title it says "Photo Contest Winners"?
