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 the soft pastel background of the first one, it really makes Georgia pop. I also love the second but Georgia blends into the background more.

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

Do you like either of these?

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I prefer the bottom one, just because she is looking at the camera more.  Both are super cute. 

[DJ & Chance]

Agree with Laurie.

[Peri Kolakowski]

The top one bothers me a little because my eyes keep going to that red thing on it (tree?)  They are both adogable but I vote for the bottom one

[Lori, Daphne, Lucy & Pippa]

OK, well, I guess it wasn't the body position in the other photo. I love both of these! The top one is a happier version of the last one you posted and IZ think its adorable!

[Nancy and Georgia Brown]

2nd one is definitely the one for me. But I would remove the purple cast from the snow.

[Donna K & Quincy]

Both adorable but it's #2 for me. I'd put it in a calendar. :>) I'd crop it a little closer if you have the pixels.

[Lori, Daphne, Lucy & Pippa]

I love this photo! But it is too dark :( Is there any way to brighten it without making it look too "overdone"? 

[DJ & Chance]

So joyful!  I would warm in up a bit and use a brush tool to add a bit more exposure to that happy doodle and also some selective contrast.  Something like this, but this may seem overdone to you and that's fine and others may have better ideas.

[Peri Kolakowski]

Such a happy doodle!!!

[Lori, Daphne, Lucy & Pippa]

Wow, DJ! That looks great!
