2018 BYC Calendar - Your Pictures Needed!

[MarySue]

Nifty-Chicken, obviously we would all like to have our photos chosen. Is there any advice/tips you can give to help us know what the judges are looking for. As an example, more natural less, composed. Or pics that show the seasons.
Also is editing photos before submission a good or bad choice?

Great questions!

I'd suggest your best bet is to look through all the winners of previous year's calendars. That's the best way to convey what our judges tend to look for.

I think it's okay to edit poop and feathers out.
