Jim with that power, you'll find it ain't so easy. I slaved over the selection process. I spent countless hours e-mailing, and re-emailing guys to come up with good pics. They put up with me and I put up with them. But for a totally rookie organization I think we all did well.
Any calendar will reflect the effort put into it. In my humble opinion, if I had taken the first 12 submissions and put them unedited into the calendar, I'd have people wanting their money back.
