Congratulations on posting your first image.
It looks like you've had a problem getting images loaded into your message as opposed to it just sitting as a thumbnail. If you haven't already done so, please do read the helpful guide that walks you through how to get your pictures into your messages. Click HERE to read the thread.
If that doesn't help solve the problem, then please do coem back and ask for further help.
It looks good. It would be better if people good see it at a larger size inside the message.
Ok it's corrected more or less, is there a way to keep the Exif info?
Well done on that.
I think the keeping (or not) of the EXIF info is both a function of post-processing and of the vehicle you use to upload the image (from which it is linked to here).
However, I can see your EXIF data okay on this one. I use Netscape with the FXIF plug-in and, sure enough, it's all there:

That is beautiful Mike, but would it be possible to crop or clone or otherwise tone down the post on the right. It's just so bright it competes with the rest. I've never done a night shot with lights like this. I'd imagine exposure is difficult but I'd say you've done a great job

I used Netscape forever, didn't even know it was still functional, anyway i loaded a plugin for firefox now so I can see the exif's on this site.
@ Wendy, actually it annoys me also a bit and i can clone it away, but I might do it over again, without the beam.
Good luck with him, go easy on the beer.
