Thank you to everyone that submitted pictures and/or voted on Facebook during our Annual Photo Contest!
From the Editor: Photos, especially cover photos, are an ongoing challenge for any magazine. There are two key points to making the final selection. The first is to ask, “Is the image compelling enough for someone to pick up the magazine?” And then the important question for production, “Is the image the resolution quality needed for print and will it work with the portrait aspect of the magazine layout?”
