"I put together a couple of rough layouts of both a blue water and green
water portfolio and then asked my wife Jane for an opinion. She reckoned the
green water Norway images were stronger and stood out better so I then
worked on the exact choice and layout. After a few reiterations of different
images/positions Jane then reviewed and we settled on the 6. Not an easy
choice and the process took a week or so of tinkering and choosing."
