COVER PHOTO - My choice and all of you voted for it the most also, and a couple even said it should be the front. It has good area for the Logo, etc.





Thank you IndyGardenGal



The following are in order of number of votes, not necessarily the order they will be in the calendar. (Please let me get them all up before posting comments )

Thanks, Angie

Okay - HT family - these are the ones that have the top number of votes.

The Cover had 73 votes, the next had 70 and the last 26,

I am going to try to use as many of the others as I can within the calendar pages (like we did last year). So, while not all can be the big month photo, I think I can get some more in.

Also, I'd love it if the member whose photos are up here would PM me the photo number and you member name. The emails are usually in real name, and this would save me going through about 100 emails to get the member name again. I purposely did not code them where it would be too easy to tell so this would be a more 'blind' vote on the photo and not the member's popularity.

By the way. I've spend the last 3 nights going through all the vote posts and put them line by line on a spread sheet (997 individual votes), then I sorted to get the number of 68's and 61's and 7's , etc. And for those of you that pointed out the duplicates - after getting the numbers, I took and combined the two numbers (like 28 had another number and I combined it to get it's final number of votes.) This was the most accurate way I could figure, and leaves me visible double checks.

I wish we could put all of them in the calendar - but I'll get as many as I can.

Now, you can make your comments.

Thanks, Angie, for all the hard work!
Great pictures!

On the "eating corn" photo, can you lighten it up some?

I really like the subject matter of that photo but didn't vote for it because of all the shadows.
But maybe it can be enhanced a bit?
Thank you Angie for all the time you've put into this. There were a lot of great pictures this year.
Thanks for the work there, Angie. Just a question....how are the vertical (portrait) shots going to be worked for the page? Do you know if they'll be cropped or have to be shrunken somehow ?

I'm gong to try to keep all of them. Maybe crop off a date if very obvious. But I won't know for sure until I see the proof copy.

Great choices guys (and gals)!!! Thanks for all your work Angie!
Those are some really good pics for this year.
There were so many really nice pictures I'm sure it was hard for alot of us to only choose 13.

Thanks for all your time & work spent on this Angie!
For the cover photo chosen, try to add some contrast to the hills in the back--just a tad---- and tone down the setting sun; it has a tendency to pull the eye there and it is too bright---blown out a bit. Also lighten upo the man on the tractor so he can be seen a little better....it is also good to leave him alone, as he is only a part of the whole.

Is that a small fire burning in the woodpile? It also is an eye puller and takes away from the sense of what the message is here....purity and simplicity. Maybe too much going on in this one.

The sun is definitely a thing I would work with.

The second one is near perfect; shows the theme, the natural way of life, it has Good depth of field and the focus is pretty much spot on. A difficult pic to get so well and it protrays Homesteading perfectly.

Your work was well done and I am sure intense...good choices. :bow:

Thank you for your input.
The photos will be on the calendar AS THEY ARE. With the possible exception of the dates, but they will probably stay also.
These are photos done by Homesteading Today Family Members, for Homesteading Today Family Members and not to go out to the slick calendar for sale market.

Angie
thanls for all your hard work Angie. You're awsome
Thanks for your time doing this. Looking forward to the new calendar.
They are just wonderful!!! 5 of my choices made it so I am happy!! LOL

What number was the cover photo?? It is very very nice!!!
