Honorable mentions December–January
Every year, The Day asks readers to submit photos for a chance to be featured in our annual southeastern Connecticut calendar. We get hundreds of entries, and it ’s difficult to narrow those down to our favorite 36 for voting.
There are a number of reasons a photo might not make it to the top three for each month. We have strict guidelines for photo content and quality. Photos that use filters, contain people or pets, contain a single focal point (such as a flower or butterfly), are not representative of the area (a close-up of shells on the beach with no water, sand, or sky), or are not a horizontal orientation all have to be filtered out—no matter how beautiful the image might be. We also screen photos for quality to ensure they fall within our printing parameters.
This year, we’ve decided to share some of our favorites that didn’t make it to the finals for one reason or another. We hope you continue to share your photos with us each year.
