My reflection on applying the workflow (exercise 2): Image selection and editing in Adobe Lightroom

I used the tried and tested process from Exercise 1 for selecting and editing my images in Adobe Lightroom.
After the initial assessment in Grid View I eliminated those images that were not technically sound. A selection process followed, with 2 extra (intermediary) stages. The extra collections were necessary considering the total number of original images (191).  
The First Selects collection  includes 22 images (out of the original 191).
The last two stages of my workflow were the same as in Exercise 1. All images were saved and archived, and a web gallery with the final selection of images was prepared.
My Final Selection has 6 images: these are shown below. I’ve chosen these images because:
- I believe they work well together and complement each other
- They capture collectively the mood and atmosphere of the place
- They depict well the notions of movement and stillness
- They offer a variety of angles, show the subject in B&W and colour, pick up details and present an overview.
