Survey for Moo cards

I guess the first thing I want to do, now that I have a blog, is to ask for help in picking some images to put on the front of my new business cards, to be made by Moo.

So far I have 61 images, which I am going to have to narrow down to 50 at the most, but reasonably I want to get down to 10. So I am enlisting all of you to help me whittle this down to, hopefully, 10 images. I will then order up some cards with the winning images on them. For your troubles I will give you 5 cards, to do with as you wish, hopefully to give to someone you think wants their pictures taken.

I am mostly interested in 2 things with this experiment. First I want to find the 10 'best' images from the ones I already randomly decided were some of my better works. Second I want to find 10 images that represent the kind of work someone would want me to do. As in weddings, babies, children, portraits, families, etc. No one would hire me to take pictures of their trees, yet I included that as an option only because I like the image.

So I am interested to see what you like and what you think would work well as a business card. Be imaginative in you choices, I am interested in your opinions after all. Don't be afraid to be critical, though I find fault with much of my work for minor technical or artistic reasons I lack the objective eye that you bring to this experiment which allows you to see things I cannot. Be strong in your convictions too, if something needs to be said I want to hear about it. I can praise my work all day by myself but I find it hard to find fault with much of it So while I may not want to hear it I need to hear it. Don't feel afraid to not pick any, but please be kind enough to tell me why.

Many thanks,
Matt

edit: survey closed. Cards are here and look great. my next post will be what they look like.
