September Asssignment Potential Calendar 2017 Photos

[F, Calla & Luca]

This is for photos you are thinking of submitting for the Calendar and that you would like to show us. If you want more detailed critiques and/or editing help I have started another discussion for that. I know there will be overlap and possibly a mish mash but we can handle that. Don't forget to check the guidelines.

I'm stating early because the calendar submissions need to be in by 9/22. seems like the submission period gets shorter every year.

Remember that vertical shots only go on the multiple doodles per page calendar. If you want a chance at a full page you need horizontal shots.
*******All Photos Must Be Embedded and be sure to check that you photos are of the correct size!
*******SUBMISSION DATE 9/22******

The size is 180 x3264 but the resolution in only 72--not enough for a print quality image.  I think you are using a cell phone camera, and while these can make great small size, digital images for the internet, most cell phone camera's can't create images with enough pixels to look good in a calendar size print.  That's why Adina sets pixel requirements--these ensure that the images she picks will look good in print.

Thanks DJ for your checking and explaining. I hope more people will help out.

Thanks, I did finally figure it out :)

Considering a couple of Fazz.......any thoughts?

[DJ & Chance]

Adorable images, particularly the first one.  Unfortunately, they do not fit the pixel requirements for the calendar, which are in place to ensure good quality of an 11x8.5 print.

These are lovely portraits but I see DJ checked them out and they are not large enough. Please see all the guidelines for the calendar http://www.doodlekisses.com/page/calendar-photo-requirements And all our reminders and suggestions. You are on the right track!

Oops, just realised it's not enough pixels :(

[Stella]

If I could get the photographer to send me a version with enough pixels, would it be calendar worthy??

[BG and Gavin]

Well I think it is gorgeous. Nice colours and good action shot. I think some of the editing pros here could take it to the next level by removing the orange snow fence in the background and lightening up Hartley's eyes for example.

The only decent pics i ever get of my dogs are at agility!!  I wasn't sure if it was suitable for the calendar though.  I've submitted agility pics before and they've never been selected!  I downloaded the original image she sent me and it is 6000 x 4000 pixels, so that is good.  In another comment F said it needed the lighting editing?  Is that because part of his fur looks white in the sunlight??

I tried to load the original image here, but my slow rural internet isn't cooperating!!
