Vote for your favorite pic please

I'm trying to decide on what picture to use for my christmas cards this year. I tried a few photo shoots but Nanook is so old that he's not able to move around that much anymore so I didn't want to keep bothering him. Raustyk was not being very cooperative all weekend either. We haven't had any snow yet and I don't have a fake x-mas tree either so my props were limited too. So I think this is all I have to choose from.
I really wanted something extra special as this is probably Nanook's last x-mas with us & it is also Kaige's first. And as we all know x-mas creeps up so fast, I'm afraid if I keep on trying to get the "right" one for this season I may not end up with any x-mas photo cards at all.

Opinions please! I will try to crop away the junk on the edges of the pics thats showing for the final pic,

I voted 5 but I think all of them are a bit far away. I would like to see the pups closer up.

Yeah I know. I don't have any good photo editing programs & can't really zoom in that well. And I couldn't zoom in any more with my camera otherwise I'd cut out some of the dogs. I also don't know how I'm going to crop the edges. lol
I'm hoping I can get one of my friends to do that for me.

It was a toss up between 3 and 5..........I picked 3, because they all have thier head's up........They are soooooooo cute

[Roxyluvsme13]

I picked 3 I think its really cute. 5 is pretty good, too! But I picked 3

[k9krazee]

3. I love them all. They look so cute!! Great pics

I liked 1 and 3 the best but I voted for 3 because I like the lighting and they're all looking at you/camera

Well maybe the company you submit your pics too can crop them for you??

I liked the first picture, its just so cute

Teh second is good but Raustyk looks bored

Third is best, IMO, except for the cropping (which you can do yourself with any basic graphic editing program or the company you're getting the cards from).

Fourth, same opinion as the second picture, and in the fifth I would like it except for the sunlight.

Also, when you take pictures like this, try to take them on the largest resolution possible for your camera. That way its easier to get high-quailty prints

I'm taking them to walmart. Do they crop them for you?

How do I adjust my camera to the the largest resolution? Yes I am dig. photo illiterate. lol

[Jessika]

Oh it depends on camera. I would look through your camera's manual to see if you can make the pictures larger or smaller. I have mine set on the largest resolution, which is 2048x1536. But as I said, it differs per camera on HOW to change the resolution, so you'll have to look in your manual, or if you threw it away/lost it always look online

Thanks I'll look that up. Maybe I'll try for one last photo shoot this coming weekend.

I can help you out! I have a *LOT* of experience with photo manipulation, correction, restoration, etc. etc. I could even try to take the head of one dog and put it on it's body in another picture. For example, my favorite picture is number 3 because this is the only one with Raustyk's head up. But I like Kaige's face better in another picture, and I could take his face off of that one and put it on him in pic number 3. I can also crop it, add some shadows for depth, etc.

Because I don't have a buisness yet but want to eventually have one (and because I love you ), I will do it for free . Just PM me if you're interested. I'll give you my e-mail address because I'll need the original versions of the pictures (the BIG ones!).

I like 3.

I don't like hearing that this is Nanook's last Christmas.

[Uabassoon]

I really liked the 3rd photo.
