CCC: Panel of Six Images

My third season, so my third panel.  I have so many ideas for panels, but the lack of ability to implement so many of them. I will work hard during the summer to over come some of these issues. These are not the images I was going to enter but a change of plan last week has had me looking back on my bee images from 2014 and 2015 (and one from 2016!).

The panel (on this occasion)  should have six images, all images should stand up on their own but also sit well together.  A better panel will tell a story, using the six images.  They should work from left to right, be of a similar orientation (or at least be an even number of portraits and landscape mix).

During my first season, having no experience with panels I entered these in 2015. With a little more experience in my second season, I did a special project for the panel - however, although connected they didn't tell a story 2016.

So this year, I have concentrated on the panel rather than the images.  I would be the first to admit some of these images are perhaps not my best but I have submitted a story using the six images.  I changed my mind last week when I was reminded the panel should tell a story, would some of these images stand up on their own - perhaps not, but I hope they work well as a panel.   Last season, my panel was the last to be rejected before they started on the scoring.  This year I would very much like a HC just on the panel (not necessarily the quality of images) - if my panel works then I can work on the story and quality of images for next year.  Is has to be about improvement, a little bit at a time.
