Maybe people can re-submit the original (before they re-sized it on Photobucket)? Would that work, though? I thought pictures had to be made smaller to post them here, if one doesn't want to leave link.

Because of what Josh has said about the size of the pictures, I had to remove my original submission because it was very small. I had to make it small to put on my website, and I didn't save it in its original size. When I tried to make it bigger it lost its clarity, so I knew it wouldn't be any good for the calendar. I substituted the baby desert tortoise picture. If you think I should be disqualified, that's ok, it won't hurt my feelings.

Making the photo smaller to post on the website is fine, but we will need the original photo to have it printed in the calendar. Note the differences between cropping and resizing...

That's just it, Josh. I didn't save the original picture, and I entered the picture from my web site, which was very small and not able to enlarge it.
I resized the picture to be less pixels then put it on the website. When I open it from the website in my picture program (Irfanview) and re-size it back up to more pixels, it turns out fuzzy. Can't be made bigger.

Yvonne, If you had to delete your original pic and post a different one before judging I think that should be fine. No disqualifications needed at this point.
Maggie I am glad to see you got Bob in the contest.
I agree Stephanie how am I suppose to get anything done looking at the great pics here and trying to pick one to submit?v

I continue to be intrigued by the charismatic Bob, of water-dish-high-centering and furniture-dragging fame. I feel like Maggie caught him at just the right moment in her photo entry. I can almost hear him thinking, "Hey, Food Goddess, look at me! Watch what I can do!"
[I must cite Yvonne for the Food Goddess term; I read it on one of her threads and it is just so appropriate for tortoise keepers :-]

Only a few days left for submissions! Spread the word!!
I've posted my resized photo, but how do I submit the original, 8MP photo?
Good question, Shelly... If your photo is among the most voted, I will send you an email requesting the full-size original photo.
Wow Dale's got some heavy competition for the calendar this year.
This is going to be a great calender! I'm totally going to buy one. It doesn't matter if my little JoJo makes it in or not. I love the way people are bringing out the personalities of their torts.
I LOVE the name butters... like south park. "Gee guys I dont know about this" LOL. LOVE SOUTH PARK!
There was one post on the submissions thread by Zekie that didn't have a picture in it. I sent Zekie a PM letting them know I would post the picture for them if they would send it to me, and I've deleted that post from the submissions thread. Also, there were two posts with no picture, but comments. I deleted them also. Remember, the submissions thread is only for submissions, not for comments.

I totally agree! The pictures are wonderful. Too bad Gummybearpoop didn't enter a picture of one of his radiated's or stars. Too bad we can't enter more than one picture! Or how about a Bob calendar!!!
I'm really surprised at the eagerness of folks to participate in the calendar contest. No prize, only the fact that their tortoise will be immortalized in 2010!

A Bob calendar??????? YES..I'm in. Who doesn't love Bob!
I will buy TWO Bob calendars
OK I'm in on a Bob calendar.
Now I must get this off my chest. I think we should be able to post one pic of each species we have. (Don't panic Josh, I know that many pics might crash the site ) But what great pics we all have. I had such a hard time choosing one. I really love the pic of Bixby a DT. But I guess I will have to save it for next year.
Good Luck Everyone. All the pics are great this year.

I finally submitted one!
ARRGHSSHH It was like they KNEW that I wanted to take a nice picture of them. All three! Uncooperative as all get out. I got lots of "mom" pictures---lighting off, composition iffy, blurry. But very few great shots. (to me they are all great, I mean calender great)
Those goofs. I hope I make the cut. I need a calender. And a tortforum calender would ROCK.

Agreed... i had a hell of a time picking... there were so many of each of my tortoises i could have used... had to go for the Moroccan baby though as they don't seem to be seen all that often
