Hello Steve and Welcome to PictureSocial. Hope you find it an enjoyable place that you can learn and maybe teach others. We do have a Canon User Group. If you are interested, you can find it under the "Groups" tab at the top of the page. Hope to see you there.
Did you enter under the winter landscape? If so, you leave a comment, and enter under files. From there, I know not where they go yet. I do know that when you upload pictures to your page you can click on a pick and it should show you how many people have viewed them and what if any star rating has been added to them.
