Submission Guidelines for Photos:

Should be an original photo -- not a copy.
It's a good idea to submit at least three photos.
Try to get a good close-up shot of the inn.
Photos should be sharp, with crisp contrasting colors.

Good results come from photos that are light in background and have good contrast of light and dark, but not large areas of dark space. Photos by professionals are preferred. For exteriors, cloudy skies are better than pure blue skies. Snow is better (with other contrast) than grass, or less grass and more building. For interiors, light walls are better than dark walls. Patterned soft goods with high contrast are great. Let some of the inn's personality come through.
