There was an article in one of the photography newsletters that I get that described an exercise in which one reviews all photographs taken during the calendar year, and selects the Top Ten.  I thought it might be a great way to force myself to critically evaluate all the photos, and it proved to be more of a challenge than I expected.  Still, I was able to narrow them down from nearly two thousand to a mere 15!  If forced me to look closely at each one I had previously given a high rating to, and evaluate every aspect.  This process has caused me to try and evaluate more critically throughout the year, and to place those I believe worthy into a special collection in Lightroom for my Top Ten 2015.  Should anyone out there not have a similar process, I highly recommend doing this. Takes time, and self critique, but worth the effort.
