Ross' pictures are stunning, though...

Just a warning...photos that are not perfectly focused or too small (ie. don't match the template resolution and dpi) will not be considered. I'm getting some great photos but some are too small and just not suitable for a calendar. To check your resolution, right click on the file name, select properties and click on summary. Make sure your resolution is OK

Sorry, Marty, if this is a dumb question but can you be specific, please, about what is "OK?" Thanks.

1. Images must be submitted unsized and at maximum available resolution. The requirements are
11.5 x 9 in. (trimmed on calendar to 11 x 8.5 in.) at 200dpi. This translates to an image 2300x1800 at 200dpi
In other words the bigger the better. (template
here) If needed I will size the images, please don't do it yourself. Send the original files.

2. Orientation of the Image must be 'landscape'. Portrait entries will not be considered. (See example
here)
