here are some samples of what we mean about being cropped too closely. These pictures would have been great for the calendar, except that they were cropped too closely. the transparent bars on the sides represent what would be cropped off the original image to make it fit in an 8.5x11
the 3rd image is not as tight as the first two, but is too close for printing because of the margin for error on cutters. make sure that the majority of your image is the car, but please leave room on the sides.
