The answer is 39
I just know you're doing this too. I saw the email about next year's annual + gallery + trip to Chicago, bowed ritually in the direction of the God-like organizers, and later that evening, I had to take the quickest-possible trip through all the 2009 photos thinking Well, maybe and tossing those into a PDML-candidates folder/collection/whatever-your-workflow-calls-it. Then I took one pass through tossing the ones that were great concepts but lame photos and ended up with... 39. What's your number? And I was wondering if it'd be A Good Thing if we each posted a gallery of our Top X Candidates for PDML 09 and heaped praise on each others' winners (while throwing judicious dung at each others' Well-Meaning But Unfortunate Mistakes). Because getting down to 3 is going to hurt. -T -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

See if you can find some sets of 3 that work particularly well together, then try and rank the sets.

See if you can find some sets of 3 that work particularly well together, then try and rank the sets. 39 = 13 * 3 so that should slice the size of the problem by 66%, right? :-) Jostein -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
