Is it this one?

If so, I clicked on "Browse Gallery" tab at the top of the page (sandwiched between Home and Articles), then in the "View only images from" field, I typed in "SeismicPainter" then hit go. It opened a Thumbnail, which I clicked on, and it took me to the voting page.

Also, I believe there is a small delay from the time you post the image, to the time a Mod reviews it and it posts into the gallery. So if you tried to find it immediately after posting, it may not have been available until a Mod completed their review.

If you're signed in you can also go to the very top of the screen, on the right you should see "my pictures." Click on that and then scroll down. It will have everything you've posted to the gallery. Click on the image and it will take you directly to the voting page. Then you can send your friends that link.

You should also see the status on the "my pictures" page. If its waiting review it should say pending or something like that. Once its in the gallery it will say active. As Bloodhowl said it takes a little bit (usually less than a day) for it to be reviewed by a moderator.

Thanks to both of you. I didn't realise that it takes time for a moderator to review it, even though I did see that it was "pending".

One more thing is I was wondering if there is a way to see how many views a model has without me contributing the views and "skewing" the number?
Do you have any advice on the model, whether it is the paint job, or the actual photo itself (lighting colour balance and or the background)?

Oh yeah! I really like this guy! There is an endless discourse of "things you can do to improve." That's pretty much the theme of the forum so look around a little and I am sure you will get inspired. 2 things that things that look like problems to me are 1. The sealer or varnish looks really shiny. It kind of works but in my mind detracts overall. Maybe take your photo before you put your seal coat on or use a matte varnish. 2. I would try and post pictures zoomed out to about 50% of what you have here. Look at what other people post and try to match that zoom. It's a mini so there is no reason to do the super close up shot.

Thanks Demihuman. That is some really valuable advice you have for me. I will from now on, take photos before varnish... good stuff. More pics to come.
