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!

These look great! Laurie did a wonderful job! Personally, I don’t mind the little missing paws.

[Peri Kolakowski]

Thanks Lori, Laurie is amazing!  So talented!  I will try again in a couple of days to see if I can get it without cutting off the paws.  Resting these old knees for a day or 2

[Frank & TeddyToyDoodle]

Great pics !!  Teddy would LOVE to play with DJ !!

[Peri Kolakowski]

Thanks, DJ would love to play with Teddy too.  DJ is 35 pounds though so Teddy might be a little intimidated since he looks so tiny!

[Nancy and Georgia Brown]

These look really great! Good job to both of you. 

[Peri Kolakowski]

Thanks Nancy, what do YOU think about the little bit of paws I cut off.  I am so disappointed :(

[Nancy and Georgia Brown]

You still have an entire month to take more pictures! Shoot it again. (That's what my photography teacher used to tell me.) Make sure you leave a little bit of room.

You will need extra room anyway because printer needs extra space around the image so that if they trim it wrong you don't end up with a white edge on your photo.

[Peri Kolakowski]

Nancy, my problem is that if I back up to get it all in, I lose some of the definition on DJs face but I will try it again in a day or 2 after I rest my knees from the injections I got.  Btw, thanks so much Nancy for finding that info on my camera.  I DO have them all on my computer as 3072 x 2304 but somehow they don't get to Laurie that way, I don't understand why. weird.  Btw, what is the end date because I think I can get some nice shots at my Florida home and we will be there for 2 weeks in September  This was the original one with the correct size, let me know if it comes out as 3072 x2304 on here

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

I played with the photo and I think my crop would make it not enough pixels. This is what my limited skills resulted in.

[Peri Kolakowski]

Nancy, limited skills?  You are far to humble, your edits are awesome!  I love that you got the buildings out of this but I think it IS too small it says it is 1060 x 866

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

That is what I was afraid of.  I pulled it directly off dk, so perhaps the original is larger, but I know that background poses a real difficulty form my photos also. It seems that there is always a car or building or piece of trash or something.....

[Peri Kolakowski]

I'm going to try to retake from a different angle
