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 totally love the third picture

Looking for some critique on these possible calendar submissions...  They are not great but I haven't picked my camera up since January due to my moms cancer diagnosis.. She's doing great now...

So what do you guys think?

I like the last cropbest and the last shot of Bailey. I would try to remove the darker “line” across her tongue though. I didn’t know about your mother but it’s great that she is doing well.

[Donna K & Quincy]

I like the first crop with more space to the left, it makes the pic look more balanced and I'd crop even closer if you can. Something like this.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

I like the shot labeled 4 and this crop  of 2 best and number 3 is close, but I also think  number 1 is worth submitting.   I am so glad that you mom is doing better.

[DJ & Chance]

Beautiful shot and nice edit.

[Peri Kolakowski]

I like #3 the best.  I'll keep your mom in my prayers

[DonMarie and Picco]

I like #4  & I like her in #1 but she needs to be lightened up but maybe the background is too distracting.

[Nancy and Georgia Brown]

I like the second image best and I think either a or c. Not sure which, but both could be cropped a little closer so we see more doodle and less sky/grass.

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing about the crop as well.

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't even see that line. Yes she is doing fabulous now. Diagnosed 3 days before Christmas, tough treatment but she made it through.... Then she needed a pacemaker. She's 83 and a tough old girl... So picture taking was not even a thought. It had been so long since I took my camera out, when I did open my camera bag, there was a dried up dead little lizard in it LOL...

[Nancy and Georgia Brown]

I’m glad your mom is fine. A dead lizard in the camera bag!  Oh my.
