Maybe there are others that are wondering?

To ensure the number and qualty are submitted.. how about 3 submissions per member.. maybe different species/sub-species?

I guess I have to withdraw my pic because I only have a 4 megapixel camera. I didn't notice that until today. Maybe if I win the lotto I can get a 6 megapixel camera

Terry, the main reason I can't allow that many submissions is because of the way the polls work for voting. I initially considered 2 submissions per person... Ill double check to see if it would be possible.
Chucky, I thought 6MP was a reasonable cutoff for photo resolution. If a 4MP photo isn't grainy at 8.5" by 11" then it should be fine. Have you tried printing it?

chucky if you win the lotto will you buy me a camra too? I seen one that is like 1,200 at costco. = )

I've printed some and they look ok but they were not on photo paper so they are sort of dull looking. I can send you the original pic and you can decide.

I kept trying all day to get a picture for this calendar and they are not excepting any of them is there a special way to do this?

 

[Josh]

I submitted a photo, but I'm not sure if it will still be full resolution after having been uploaded to myspace. I can provide a very large, high resolution file upon request.

 

[spikethebest]

just provide a low resolution picture now, and later if you are one of the winners, you can email the high resolution.
thank you for posting your picture!

Dan, I see you have a new baby. I posted a photo of Poki. He/she is 1 1/2 now! They grow up so fast. Haha. Speaking of that, how long until we can tell the sex?

And I'd just like to say, very nice photos, everyone. Great looking torts.
