FWIW
I'm probably my worst critic as I delete any image for the slightest 'flaw',
& as a result I don't keep a lot of images I've shot.
Critical editing is one way to improve your photography. Think about it.
I would only submit an image that I felt was my best effort.
YMMV.
83 worthy images in a year of photography seems pretty good to me.

Subject: Musings on image selection for the Annual
Hi Guys,
Looking back at my Pentax images from last year I didn't shoot with my
Pentax kit a great deal, about 2400 images all up with probably 10% of
them sequences for panos, about 10% of images shot for myself and the
remainder records of events and family. I took the route of throwing
everything I shot in a folder and discarding what wasn't up to the
quality that I want to be submitting. As a matter of interest I shot
just over 1800 images with my s90 in the course of 7 months.
There doesn't seem to be a great selection to find three worthy images
from, I could go to past years but personally I would prefer to only
submit images captured during the year. That said I'm currently down
to 83 images and hopefully I'll have it down to a more manageable nine
or so by next week. Then comes the hard part.
How do you decide what makes the grade in the case of the PDML Annual?
Cheers,
