My opinion... I'd drop the "man in the door image". The cut off human and very little detail to show what I can assume is the final step in the process as you depicted it, storage, just don't do it for me. I'd then move the last image into position #3. Doesn't seem to fit as a last image,

I went back and looked at the whole set in that first edit. For what it is worth, I would still end with #7 from the reduced set. Number 8 and 9 I would delete. In their place I would use 9299-213 in position #7 and A039901 in #8 position. Oh, and I would choose -171 vs. -174 for the second

Not sure I understand the criteria for success in this context, but among these 9 images, I think the "strongest" and the one I would end a mini-show with is #7. The bright yellow is a nice exclamation point behind what has been mostly muted colors. stan On Oct 15, 2008, at 5:41 PM, David
