This is a special poll, to decide which of the 12 photographs that have made it in to this spectacular calendar is chosen for the cover.

Also, this poll is only open for 2 days, so move fast! No more time to waste!

Some more information on the calendar is available here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=122000


Don't vote for your own work of course, I don't need to remind the photogs about that. Plus, this is a public poll.

I'm feeling the front of the R8. Just the way it looks caught my eye, it looks like something you'd see on a cover. Oh, and just for a little fun I think I took my best picture yet today, not sure why but I'm fascinated by it

I like a pic that is panoramic and a lots of cars - you see, a group or community of cars, every one of it is different and parked in the middle of a field. What a nice view.

McLaren's shot. Can definitely see that being on the cover. I'm also thinking about the detail shot/full car thing, and it means that the Countach shot will be in the calendar, evening out the balance a bit more...

As we have 12 people instead of 13 (Omnis fell ill), whatever car on the cover WILL be in the calander.

Well, I guess the cover shot is the Countach! Congrats SPhilli!

Send the shot to me when you can, my e-mail is listed under my contact info. (With it being 2875px on the longest edge) Thanks. 👍

I got the cover?! I'm so sorry I couldn't vote! I've been so busy lately.

I'll send the pic asap. My only issue being that I don't have the shot in that size... I took that picture a while back when I used a D40x. And that image is cropped. What should I do? How come it has to be that size? Can't images be cleanly blown up for prints?

What size are we talking? There are certain methods in photoshop that can retain detail reasonably well when enlarging an image. If you need any help with it or if you want me to do it just shoot me a pm.

Congratulations. It's a lovely shot, and I'm very happy that there's a raging bull on the cover.

The cover dimensions aren't actually that different from the inside page size.

Send me the shot (I should have PM'd you the address) in the largest size you have available, so long as it has the edits you've done. I can crop it to match Redbubble's requirements and your composition. I'll let you know how I get on. It may be that you need to go back to the original and edit it to look like the crop, then re-crop it.

Well...I made a rough sort of concept of the cover. The only unfortunate thing is that I made it wide enough to fit the requirements (if it's not big enough to requirements - it doesn't show up at all), but it doesn't take up that much of the cover. So I might modify it in some way.

Concept 1:

And how it would look (ignore the bottom, I just worked it into my calendar for simplicity - it would say GTP Calendar or whatever):

I sent you an email, Giles, with the largest size I have that shot in (2468x1652) a few days ago. I'll resend it if you didn't get it. Although, I do like Longbow's take on the cover.

Thanks again for the votes!

Thanks. I sent it to Giles so we can get it moving - since people seem to think it's acceptable.

I know, thank you to everyone who made this possible. It has been an incredible month and a half. We're just about done now... Any day now we should be set to print...
