Hi Your photos are too small now, they need to be about 6 times as big

Kieran, the maximum file size is 125 kilobytes, not 125 pixels - the restriction is to the size of the file itself, not the dimensions of the image on the screen. 500 x 500-ish pixels should be fine, but you might have to compress it a bit (save at 80%-ish quality or so - depends on the original photo file size). Does that help?

You'll need to fix all the photos you've posted, as they're all too small to see the detail.

Keiran, which program are you using to resize your pics as they are still very small?  If you let me know I'll try and talk you through the settings you need to get them to the right size. (If you're totally stuck send me copies of the pics at full size by email - see envelope to the side for email address - and I'll resize and add them for you.)
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

Sweden? why not. Graal technique? You obviously know more about it than you are letting on. I would think that if graal technique was used it is a very strange result. :)
