Steve, a suggestion when you reach the above point. ;-)

Just imagine you have Sandy standing over your shoulder and asking her one
simple question.... "Is this one of your ten all time best photographs?"

And if you can't say yes in a firm and in control voice, that means there's
an element of doubt..... therefore it's out! ;-)

And in my case when she's right and I start to whine she just says...."Pity,
it's still out!" Then gives me one of her enigmatic smiles that you know
there's no point arguing with this photo editor, let alone a woman! :-)
