    Wow, stunning pictures! Excellent job on all of them! I was picking which ones I liked the most, and they were all SO good! 🙂

    OK, here are my ideas for which ones goes with each month –
    Jan. – Either 1 or 24
    Feb. – 3
    Mar. – 22
    Apr. – 12 or 15 (these are SO amazing pictures – such simplicity and quite peaceful.)
    May – 5 or 29
    June – 16 or 35 (like the sun in these pictures!)
    July – 42 or 47
    Aug. – 28
    Sept. – 31
    Oct. – 9 or 36
    Nov. – 49 🙂 Amazing shot!
    Dec. – Definitely 50 🙂 I really like that picture!

    Front cover? I have no idea…they are all so great!

    Favorites? Some that I really like that I didn’t list with months are 20, 26 and 48. Though, 12 is awesome!

    Great job on the pictures! I had a quick question though – beside all the pictures you have all the info about the picture (where it was taken, camera info, conditions, etc., etc.) does it take a lot of time to write those things out, or have you gotten use to doing it all?

      Thanks for your input Bethany! As for adding information to the pictures, I actually have it set up to do it automatically for me. The exposure and other camera metadata is imbedded in the image so as long as I add the location specifics in Lightroom, then Lightroom and Zenfolio work together to do the filenaming for me. I can send you specifics for how I do it if you’d like. I didn’t developed my processes over night. 🙂

    Thanks for sharing how you do that. I normally just name my pictures and file them by different categories (flowers, scenery, people, etc.) How long have you been doing it this way? I’m sure you have to have a very organized way of doing everything, since you take so many pictures!

    BTW, I noticed that I didn’t put any of your waterfall pictures down for any month. Don’t think I didn’t like them – they were great! I just didn’t know what month to put them with, that’s all 🙂
