Drat, looks like the pictures aren't justifying the size/ratio properly.s

Nice shots, johnno. Quite a few nice species have been reported from that area. Try sizing them to about 500 x 330.

I don't suppose there is any extra code that can be added to the image tags to get larger pictures to resize how they are displayed as you can with PHP based forum code?
I haven't spotted anything in the code syntax.

Mate even though you have had a few dramas posting I can see that there is some really good shots there.
I like the one of the Corellas and Fantail.

Thanks for the compliments, tha park is just up the road from me and a regular weekend walk is had there. I'm not into doing a resize on the pics as they play an integral part of photo galleries on my website but would love to know if the forum will allow for resize coding.
For better pics you could have a peel at {link}http://www.xjgarage.org/photos/index.html{/link} and wander through the Pentax pictures. There's a bit of an odd collection of pics there along with birds up to whatever they do best and in fairly decent resolution. The camera used is a Pentax K20D, lenses are a Sigma 50-800mm. 70-300mm and Pentax 55-300.

G'day Johnno,
.
I'm not an expert (far from it). I upload my photos to Flickr and from there I copy the photo's address (via right click, properties) onto this site. I look forward to seeing more of your shots. The K10D (and now K20D) were on my shortlist when looking to upgrade from my trusty Lumix FZ-50.
