Yes, good sharply focused surf and perfect exposure.
Unless there is a deadline, I find that editing up a number of shots often gets put to one side as other things including more photography takes precedence. Which causes the backlog to increase. Usually a bit of English weather will eventually give me a few days of being inside with nothing else to do; except housework etc which, of course, easily takes second place to photo editing.
And as for selecting just a few special images. Well that is something which I always tend to put off because I never can make up my mind about so many options. I have done myself something in the way of a score sheet where I rate each image with a score from 1 to 5 in 4 categories. Then adding up the totals will narrow down my options although too often I still end up with 3 or 4 that have the same score.
