Default 2009 Calendar Finalists - VOTE NOW

Below are the final picks for the 2009 OB Calendar. If you do not see your photo here, it's probably because it was either not in perfect focus or it didn't meet the resolution requirements, or it was not really a calendar material.

Note for next year contest. Please be sure to shoot photos with the maximum resolution that the camera will allow. Remember, you can always reduce the photos!

Job at hand - We have to select 13 photos that will make the calendar.

how to vote?
Take a pencil and write down 13 of your favorite photos, then vote for them! Easy!

RULES:
1. Vote for your favorites. Top 13 make the calendar. Top favorite makes the cover

2. Feel free to invite your friends to vote on this contest, however telling them to vote specifically for your photo will get you disqualified. Links to this thread will show up at the bottom, so please no funny stuff.

3. Top 3 get a free calendar shipped to them.

4. In case of a tie, I will make the final selection.

5. Voting will close in 7 days.

6. Enjoy the eye candy !

Oh my! The OB calendars just get more beautiful each time! I'm gonna have to give this one some thought

By the way, who do we speak to about having more months added to the year?

Great pics, every one of them. May I suggest a weekly desk calendar? Than you need 3 more and you have the whole year covered.

Thanks D!!! I removed #11 and transferred any votes to #25. My bad! I'm blaming it on tropical storm Fay

EDIT: Thanks Gin for being on top of things. I removed some of the duplicate votes after the transfer (4 to be exact!)
