It is very tiresome to convert many of these photos from whatever format into the necessary jpeg format required by BP.com. also the file size can't be huge; I realize that cameras and phones are taking very high quality pics these days but right now this website can't handle them.. Please convert to jpeg and that will solve a lot of my problems and help get the photos of HD winners posted as quick as possible. thank you all for growing orange pumpkins and thank you for your willingness to share your efforts with the community.   Wednesday, October 25 View Page 1042.5 Zaychkowsky 2017 811 Gerhart X 1372 Larue Howard Dill winner Smokie Lake Alberta   Wednesday, October 25 View Page HD Altoona PA Weighoff Mark Smitleys 546.5   Wednesday, October 25 View Page HD winner from the Durham Fair 2017.
