August/September: It's Calendar Time!

[Nancy and Georgia Brown]

The requirements for your photos to be accepted can be found here:
https://www.doodlekisses.com/page/calendar-photo-requirements?xg_so...

Here is the information on how to submit your photos. Deadline for Submissions: September 23rd, 2018

https://doodlekisses.com/forum/topics/now-accepting-2019-doodle-cal...

This discussion is great opportunity to get feedback. Many people in this group have had their photos in the calendar year after year.

1.  If you can't decide which photos to submit, this group loves to give opinions! Number your photos and PLEASE, no more than 4 photos per post. You can post multiple times throughout the weeks but I don't want to see 20 pictures in a single post.

2. Post images that you want recommendations for regarding crop, or editing help.

3. Not sure if your image is up to snuff? Post and ask. We will give honest feedback as to what is working and not working.

4. If you are open to reshooting your photos, post your photo and we can give very helpful advice on how to reshoot and make it so much better!

Good luck!

I love snow pictures, but don't have very many. Is this one anything special?

#1

#2  This one just makes me smile

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

Oh my ....Laurie...that cupcake picture is excellent. Perfect framing...great and simple detail.  You delight this viewer with your photos.

snow shot shows good action...think that Adina will do another action calendar?

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thank you, Joani! I hope she does another action calendar. You never know :)

[DJ & Chance]

I want to see Vern and the cupcake in my calendar!!

Snow picture would be great if you can find the missing part of the hind leg.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL...I am taking the snow picture out :) I can't find his leg. Haha

[Camilla and Darwin]

I really love the cupcake photo! I might try to take out the piece of hair in front of his left eye - but overall it's just awesome!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Camilla. Vern always looks unkempt :)

[Nancy and Georgia Brown]

I like them both, but I'm sure you must have lots for this calendar season.

I think the cupcake one is adorable!  I would be thrilled to turn my calendar page and have that happy face looking at me for a month. It would make me smile.  

The snow photo is good but the pose is just a little awkward.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Nancy. Now that I see your crop, I agree with it. I need to go back and re-visit my original and see what I got. I could always re-do this one. They loved those cupcakes. LOL

The snow picture is out!

[Nancy and Georgia Brown]

I've been looking at this and thinking there is something that is not quite there yet. 

In your crop the cupcake being in the center becomes is the subject of the photo. By cropping out the bottom of the cupcake it pulls focus more to Vern. I hope that makes sense. If you have more space in the original I might recommend a slightly different crop.

[DonMarie and Picco]

So sweet!  Pun intended...

[Peri Kolakowski]

Every time I look at this, I love it more and more!!!!
