I don't know how many of you good people use PhotoBucket, but I occasionally have the damnedest issue with their site; if for some reason I lose my desktop copy of a photo and I attempt to retrieve a copy from my PhotoBucket album, it saves it in a strange format that drastically reduces the size of the photo. This is an improvement (which should be attributed either to my new and improved computer or to the new PhotoBucket software), as it used to stretch the photo so that it looked like a funhouse mirror reflection of what I had tried to produce.
Point being, the photo seen here is one of the photos that PhotoBucket inexplicably shrinks when I attempt to save it to my desktop, and so I decided to upload the shrunken version to Flickr, and huzzah! It has returned my photo to its original size.
I had not intended to keep this in my photostream since it is over a year old and I do not have a Pro account, and as such any photo I upload now knocks an older photo out of my allowed 200 photos that display.
But this has always been one of my favorite photos (although I admit I am not certain why), and as such I think I will leave it here to celebrate.
Ironically, I suspect it's already in my photostream somewhere... I simply can't access it because it's not one of the 200 most recent photos in my stream!
Someday I hope to be able to afford to prioritize a Pro account.
