Please make sure you re-read the rules to make sure your photo wasn't disqualified before resending it.
It seems like more than a few people had some trouble attaching a 5 megapixel image. If you emailed us a link, that will not do. If you emailed us a 100KB image, that will not do. If your photo is a compressed and re-sized Facebook photo, that will probably not do. If your photo was obviously altered by something like Photoshop, that will not do. Two people sent their photos after 11:59PM PST on the 15th - your entries will not be submitted.
If you were careful about following ALL the rules, and you still do not see your photo listed here, send it again. Send it as an attachment and make sure the file size is relatively large. A 5 megapixel photo should be about 2580 by 2048 and nearing at least 1MB in size.
We have to be very strict about these guidelines because of the way calendars are printed. We want to have a nice beautiful calendar for you all.

Now during this 24 hour grace period, IF your picture can meet these guidlines, please resubmit them. For instance, if you sent a picture from your Photobucket acct (which is too small), but you have it stored else where on your laptop at the large enough size, resubmit it please. We hate to not have all your beautiful pictures not making the contest.

I have a question. Is there a way to find out why my photo isn't in here because my photo met all the guidelines and I sent it in at around 11:30 PST?

I wonder how that 5 megapixels thing works (sorry photography illiterate). I have some fabulous clear shots that seem to be able to take being blown up while staying clear, but didn't meet the requirements. The one I sent tends to blur as it is enlarged, but it was well within the measurements.
Maybe enlargement isnt the same thing as zooming in or cropping. :-/

Mine didn't make it. I figured it wouldn't work but all I had was the smaller version as my box that has all my pictures quit working and has to be taken in to retrieve everything from it.

Oh well.

I resent mine from my computer. I had previously sent mine from my cell which likely altered/distorted it.

Will the photos on here be added in better quality once the fill entries are avaliable? I can see mine but it looks really bad because the quality is low :(
