Calendar Winners 2014

Everyone is invited to post their Calendar winners here. congratulations to all. I do know how many great photos were not able to fit in. This is the one place in this group where the word calendar is allowed until next year when sometime around August the madness starts again : ) I really prefer, and I am sure you all do too , to hear general comments on photos or specific points, pro and con, rather than " This is a calendar winner for sure." We know there is no such thing. Or "Save this for the calendar. Anyone who doesn't know a highly praised photo is a possible submission, well need I say more. But we all know we worked hard. All the photos I saw deserved to win and hundreds more did too. We worked hard and the calendars look great. Adina has an impossible task she did well!

Addendum: someone remind us of this next year:

If I may add some notes/suggestions for next year:

1) Practice removing leashes with photoshop and have someone check your work before submitting. Some really nice photos either didn't or almost didn't make the cut because it was very obvious that a leash/collar/harness was erased.

2) Avoid really close crops especially if the crop is a bit tall or a bit wide. Such crops will lead to the chopping off of heads, chins, tails or feet if they are closely cropped and/or tall or wide. Cloning to add height or width to the photo can help!

3) Only ONE excellent photo per dog ;-) Just kidding. But when discussing photos with a friend of mine who has helped me deliberate year to year, her first comment about this year's photos was about how EVEN BETTER they were than last year. Made for a tough job.

I am so glad this made it in. It is so full with Spud's personality and the focus is sharp and the lighting terrific.
