Yildiz, I certainly didn't intend to hurt your feelings. I appreciate very much your feedback. As I have discovered after getting feedback from 48 people though is that generally everyone disagrees with each other. :) A few of the photos have gotten more votes to be eliminated, but the truth is no photo has gotten less than 4 votes to be eliminated. All of this has helped to think more clearly though and I will choose the 12 today. This is not for a calendar. Thank you!

Hello there! :D

Bakubo, you definitely did not hurt my feelings. :) Please feel free to do as you please and maybe someday we'll be able to see the finalized project too!
I just wished to let you know the path I took while going over the photos. It must be a naturally hard process to listen to others and make up your own mind.


Good luck! :D

Okay, I am about to make a final choice of the 12 photos to burn onto a CD. I have been looking at #6 again. I have tried another crop:

I want to thank everyone who replied to me and gave me their opinions on which 6 of the 18 photos I should eliminate. Thank you!

I promised several of you that I would get back to you and let you know which photos I ended up choosing. Also, what the vote count turned out to be. :) Yesterday afternoon I made my final decision and these are the photos I decided to use:

1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18

These are the photos I eliminated:

3, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15

You can see all of the photos here:

Okay, now for the vote. I received replies from 49 people and here are the votes for the photos to be eliminated:

01: 11111
02: 1111111111
03: 111111111111111111111111111
04: 1111111111111
05: 11111111111111
06: 111111111111
07: 11111111111
08: 11111111111111111111
09: 1111111111111111111111
10: 1111111111111111111111111111111
11: 111111
12: 1111111111111111111111111
13: 11111111111111111111111111111
14: 11111
15: 1111111111111111111
16: 11111111111
17: 11111111111
18: 1111111111

Note that a handful of people did not give me a full 6 selections for the photos to be eliminated so if you count all the votes up it won't come out perfect. :-)

Thanks again to everyone!

Congratulations for a hard choice making.
