i think one of the hardest things about shoots is going through the results afterward and trying to find the ONE that really stands out above all the others and deserves to go out into the world to represent the day's work.

any thoughts on what you look for from that one stand-out picture?  is it an inexplicable process of elimination and choice?  does one usually just speak to you?  how do you decide what to go with?

That is such a good post~!

I'd like to know how other people deal with that.

I personally,
First:
Select the pictures that make me feel like batterflys in my stomach

Second:
Look for technical/pose/expression flow in the picture (that leaves me with a few less)

Third: ask people I trust (my friends) for an opinion.

Fourth:
GO back to photos and review them in a few days, like a week or so.
