Mike (and all), thanks for the feedback and I am deeply honored to be the preliminary pick for June 2011. I am fine with whichever photo you ultimately decide upon (if I make the final cut). Please be advised - if one of my pics does make the final cut, I will provide you with the original high-res picture.
That pic with the stone lightposts and the bus is one of my favorites - but I understand how the post does detract from the car. We have actually used that picture to show off some high-end giclee printing capabilities - the high-res pic has a ton of things to challenge a printer. Chromes and metallics, reflections, high-contrast primary and secondary colors, line-art/text, earth tones/natural colors and sky...all in one pic. That being said, I get that it may not be an ideal choice for a calendar. I'm just happy to be in the running
