I think that this has already been said but let me say again that the publishing company pays for the images that they put in the calendar. They are not concerned about being fair to software or fractal types. Although you can still try, I think it is very unlikely they will pay for an image that doesn't fit in the same mold they have been using over the years, no matter how amazing your flames might be. My advice for next year is don't bother to try to revolutionize the publishing company. Look at what they like and mimic it.
