Just a suggestion - I would always include the title of a photo; in the contest and in the calendar. A photo without a title is, well, somehow not complete. :)

Best,
Micha

rejecting a lot of photos for few reasons... either resolution is too low, photo is out of focus or it has paper towel or fake leaves in the foreground or a variety of foreign objects. Not looking for cute photos just natural ones displaying your gecko

Damn. What a shame this wasnt mentioned in the officials rules.
Having only read this now (after submitting my photo entry) I fear my photo now wont be in the running. :cry:
Oh well, at least I shall know for next year to use a 'natural environment' for the shot.

Btw, how are the eliminations going? When can we expect to see the 'finalists'?
Im looking forward to viewing everyone's submissions! :)

While I agree that it should have been made clear in the rules that it needed to be a natural environment, I'm sure that if you wanted to submit a new, more natural picture, Marty would be cool with that. If it makes you feel any better, he turned down my pic for the same reason.

or should the pics be on a more natural setting? there's not much nature going on around here in Jersey, and I'm definitely not bringing any of my geckos for a trip to the park lol

How about a pic of the Naultinus chillin' in Snookie's hair bump???

LMAO, you're ridiculous Ethan hahaha. Maybe a naultinus in the tar pits? Or perhaps even alone in the midst of boarded up projects in the concrete jungle?

How about putting a rule into place about not allowing any cresteds, or leopard geckos on the calendar?

haha..funny... I was thinking that this would have been obvious. We can't have a photo of a gecko peaking from under a Yoplait container. That's not calendar material. You don't have to bring your gecko to Madagascar to snap a shot. I'll make that clear next year. I assumed it was given, since we're doing a calendar. There will be lots to pick from as far as high quality photos come, so I would not worry because even if the artificial props would make the cut, they would not stand a chance among the competition. We're going to have some nice pictures. I just have to find about 2 hrs to sort through them, size them all, upload and present them in a thread/poll. I've had a nasty virus that gives me migraines from hell. Every time I stay on the comp for too long, I'm ready to hurl .... Hopefully within the next few days I'll get the poll ready and we can start voting... Thanks to all that submitted the photos.
