so i'm going to entre my sparrow "Emma" in the cover comp but i have no idea which picture to use, please vote and help me decide.
the vote number of the picture you most like corresponds with the number that the little slid-show view gives you when you click on each picture. If you don't think any of these are nice enough vote for the option that says "show us more" -- i've taken something like 40 or so pics of her so there are pleanty more to show you.
for an even bigger view of the picture remember that if you click on "view image" underneith each pic that it will open a larger size of the photo than what it shows you if you click on the actual photo which opens the slide-show view. Once the link opens from the "view image" link click on the image just once more and you will get the full-scale view.
I'm also considering taking her up to the weekend-markets as they have one of those baby photographers up there who could take a professional photo for me that wouldn't cost the earth.
thanks in advance -- kisses

which ever pics you like... remember to actually enter the vote in the above poll.
she is a sweetie and i was thrilled with how she looks as a caucasin baby - the secrist example shows her only as a ethnic bub. This is the bub that has been adopted on laybuy by a 17 year old at the show. She fell madly in love with her, and i think she is one of my personal faves right now too.
Your baby pictures are absolutely beautiful! I just wanted to quote something from the contest rules before you pick. You are too sweet and your baby is too lovely to be overlooked because of a few words on Emma's hat and outfit. The rules say:
****Outfit and accessories: Clothing makes the baby. They dont need to be elaborate but they must bring out the best of the baby. Any blankets, toys or other items that add to the overall effect of the scene and beauty of the baby are welcome. Clothes must not have text on them.*****
Emma is just adorable! And you, Naomi, are a sweetheart! Best wishes on Emma's landing on the cover of the next Secrist catalog!
rosemarie.... thank you so much for pointing that one out... ok so looks like i might need to redress her then... thank you. She's being picked up by her new forever mummy on the weekend and then i'd not have her to re-shoot, so i'm glad you brought this to my attention now while i still have her in my possession to re-photograph her.
I could probably crop the pic #20 to cut out the "black bit" (actually its a deep steal grey, furry throw rug)... i thought it gave a little more interest and dimention to the pics but you might be right about it being too dark.
its so hard to choose and know what it is they might be looking for.
i hope me doing a "pre-show" of the pictures i'm choosing from doesn't intimidate others from entering or anything. There are so many of you out there with exquisit tallent, many far better than me.... i'm just a bit of a photo-whore i think
sorry - i'm just such an indecisive person... ekkk i really hope i haven't broken any rules or made ppl think, that i think i'm going to win.
aww i didnt look at it that way i enjoy helping its lovely to be able to share with a fellow reborner its very seldom this happens so many keep secrets hide things and make this such a competition its what i love about this forum there is none of that we all share freely im sure everyone feels it here ((((naomi)))) dont stop sharing and if you win ill be standing here jumping up and down saying wooohooooo! (((hugs)))

Chatroom? Hmmmm Well you can always write on eachothers whiteboard in the profile! I've heard its like a chatroom but private. KNIM?
Hey Naomi! Can I get you to use the "attach images" check box at the bottom of the post page from now on for your photos please? As you can see, when you don't use that it makes the forum pages really wide and throws everything off hun. (so can you please repost your little cutie for us and help out? :) And since you're not using the poll can I get rid of it? Not trying to be mean or anything but I gotta keep a tight reign so it doesn't get away on me, you know, being the moderator and all.
I can't decide between pic 11 or 19. I personally like both of them. You know, you don't have to know what "they" are looking for in the pictures. It actually gives you the basics of what they want in the directions for the contest. Besides, who ever wins, they might ask them for a totally different pic than what was put in for the contest. So pick the one YOU like the best. Narrow it down and stick the finalists in a hat and draw one (telling yourself you are going to stay with the one that wins hehehe lol).
Hi pat i didnt mean chatroom to talk private, lately we have all been online at the same time and i thought it would be great if we could pop into a chatroom and all talk as it is very hard to keep up with the posts sometimes i can post 10 messages in like 2mins just answering lol

hey buff-woman... hope you don't maind me calling you that Pat??
your suggestion on how to pick and photo is a really good one, and it makes me feel less nervous that they might ask for a different pic of the baby for publishing, thats alot less pressure off with me thinking i have to sellect the *perfect* picture to enter.
you can remove the poll, thanks. I would have deleted it myself but after a day we can't edit our own posts. So yes, please do do that.
I can see that the attach image button does work better with posting of pic's regarding the page layout. I decided to try with the BB img code simply b/c i tend to have to wait a lifetime when i uplaod through the attach image option... it seems to take a good 10 mins to upload each pic.... is this just me??? My camera is a 9mg pxl and its probably b/c of the high amount of info in each picture that the site is then scaling down before hosting as otherwise it probably exceeds the max. But you are right, when BB img hosting from photobucket the page width does get totally thrown out so i'll be patient in future when uploading and host them direct to the forum.
Hi Nomes. no I don't mind if you call me that. I've been called a lot of stuff in my lifetime... *blushes*
K kiddo, I removed the poll but left your piccies. I agree, because you have a large format (9MG pxl) it does take a lot of time for the site to change it to smaller.
Hi Naomi. I love all your photos..but maybe no 18 the best...I have just finished my 6th. Baby and I am very happy with her..I might take some photos 2morrow and post a couple then. I am coming to W. A. in about 4 weeks time..I might get your phone number off Carol and give you a call..maybe we could get together and chat about Reborning?? Good luck in the contest
