I also do my best to have my pieces (mechanically) functional, as in fact most of them are; although shooting with them is out of the question.

I am no computer wizard. What i do is, when they happen to be 'too heavy' even within size allowed, i copy them in my computer to a different image application, one that reproduces them with 'lighter' features; or just resize them till they become uploadable... if not too small, of course.
