I used my scanner to get pictures of the nara school tsuba, so they are pretty good, and can be blown up alot. So I uploaded them to flickr so that they would be full size of 2-5mb each so you guys can blow them up without much loss. I have never used flickr and can not figure out how to show these pictures to you guys. Can I get some assistance?

Drop your dpi setting. 2-5 megs for a pic is insanely big for the internet.
On any pic in your flickr album, right click and copy image location, and then you can post that link here. Best not to put it between the [ img ] tags, or otherwise it is going to load iand force scrolling, as well as a loooong wait for some members.
Also, please remember the golden rule: crop.
Poeple don't need to see 75% of the image as floor or carpet or whatever. This is just a general observation from seeing many pics nowdays.
