I dont understand how some people get away with it, but the ratings for collages are always very poor anyway.

Jan posted the rules numerous times - this is the most recent:

Here are the rules
- size: 719 x 123 px, .JPG, 72 dpi
- no text, no markings, no flags, no nothing, just the image
- need source name and link, preferably you yourself
- explain a bit on what we see.

Cheers,

The key words being "just the image". Jan also specifically said "no collages" in the staff forum.

I would say #2 because #1 is heavily distorted.

I just wish the bell tower was complete and lit up next to the mosque.

Would these work?

All are my photographs.



This photo is in Hermel, Beqaa, these are the eastern hills bordering Syria



Beirut as it appears from Ain Saade



My personal favorite, it is the view from "beach club resort" in Khalde, Lebanon

[Beiruti]

Nice shots, but the banner must be urban so the first and third one would not qualify.

[Rabih]

can we submit a banner?

[Beiruti]

Yes, you can always post your banners in this thread. If we get enough new submissions we can start a poll.

Guys the picture was cropped from this one which looks much better than the croppings.. I suggested of cropping it which clearly is a bad idea compared to this one
Nadini posted this in the reclaimed land thread... hope you like this one more and its a much better high resolution anyways

[Abdallah K.]

you know it has to be a specific size right? 719x123 I believe. Thats why the quality is reduced

+ bringing back some oldies (for the lack of better ones)

The quality isnt reduced. I didnt change the resolution (only cropped), if you look closely you can see the original is no better. But I agree, quality is not good enough for a banner.

[GAJ1992]

personally, i think we can just reduce the quality.. or go with the second one rabih posted.. because i think those are the best 2. :\

Byblos:

[þopsï]

Love it!

[Beiruti]

It's nice but a little blurry. Plus, we already had a Byblos banner...

[Ramy H]

Have we had a Tripoli Banner? I like Tripoli's apartment building skyline+ boulevards and I'm pretty sure we have some pics of it on ssc. Would be a nice shot and a change right?

Or since it is near beach season for half the world.... why not a Tyre beach+ skyline?

I would make them myself... but it would be paint quality lol
