   I think that these are Irises, but I may be wrong.

This is a daffodil, or narcissus.

A cultivated Narcissus (daffodil).

You can post them smaller (pixel dimension) and get a better quality.

I think that Bjørn meant export a copy to a smaller size more suitable for posting.
Something like 1200 pixel on the longer dimension as in the guidelines:

A quick resize of pixel dimension in Photoshop or other suitable software does the trick. Image quality does not necessarily relate to the number of pixels at all. The 'Iris' (Narcissus)  photo is a good example as the huge pixel size is paired with a very small file size in bytes (low jpg quality setting).

   It's actually an old film print that I scanned yesterday.   I'll remember to resize when I post something again.  Thanks for the comments.
