I tried to climb Pyramid Peak yesterday, but was denied. My group and I were simply unprepared. Anyways, this is a picture taken right after sunrise yesterday morning around 12,000 ft. Any comments/critiques welcome. Taken with my new Pentax K200D and the 18-55 AL II kit lens. A bigger versions and many more pictures from the trip can be seen on my FLICKR account under the "Pyramid Peak" (surprise) folder.

Too bad on the missed summit, but that happens in mountain climbing.
It would be great to see a larger size of this shot.
From what I see here, it seems like the K200D is doing a good job of holding shadow and highlight detail.
Thanks for commenting. I don't think I can post a larger version since I am not a member here...soon, hopefully. You can see the full size image on my FLICKR account...just follow the "WWW" link. Thanks again.
Can't anyone post images 700 pixels on the longest side?
This is a cool shot, made more so by the inclusion of the humans. How much snow did you run into at 12K? Is that what stopped you? (My unpreparedness factor relates to too many vanilla shakes from Sonic!)
I wish some of the images on your flickr pages had captions. We know very generally where you are, but would like to know more.
Cool shot Justin - great light. I love the mountains when they have this amount of snow on them - brings out a lot of their character.
As Todd indicated, you don't need to be a member to post larger. 200kb is the max file size (it will prevent you from uploading if it's larger, member or not) and 720px is the max recommended length. You should easily be able to post this at 720 without hitting 200kb, and still have it look very good.

"200kb is the max file size (it will prevent you from uploading if it's larger, member or not)..."
Is this true? I thought this was the size limit for image files hosted on NPN. If you used a different site to host your images (Flickr, Photobucket, pbase, etc.), you could use a larger filesize when posting the image. It was just recommended to keep it no larger than 200kb to minimize the wait for those still on dial-up to view the pic. I've often posted images here that were bigger than 200kb and had no problems doing it either.
I believe Doug is correct. If you host the file yourself and link to it, then it seems the file size limitation does not play (I had posted some really large files like this in the past). However, I think the 720px limitation on the horizontal axis does still come in to play.
When creating a new post, you have two options for including an image: link or upload. You can *link* to a photo that is larger than 200kb, but you can't *upload* one.
Regarding pixels - 720 is the requested max, but nothing in the forum software will actually prevent you from linking or uploading a larger one.
