    I like it all except for the B&W conversions. If it's a coloring book....why put B&W in it?

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    Coloring books begin in b&w and then the kids color them. :)

    Maybe start with an outline and then gradually fill in each color as you go through?

    I could change the title .. I kind of like the b&w contrasting with the other images... I could also just put a sepia filter on the B&W imgs. What do you 2 think?

    I like your idea a lot, Jenn, but I'm sorry to say that I don't care for the black & white or sepia toned images in this instance. They just don't seem to balance well with your other selections. Maybe you could start with the monotoned and b&w shots and work your way into full color??? That might show more of a progression. Right now, the b&w/sepia shots really distract from the others instead of complementing them.

    Of course, this comes from one who has absolutely nothing yet, so take my comments with a grain of salt.

    Well.. I wasn't sure I liked it that way myself. What do you think?

    Here's 4 more versions:

    B: All in Color

    One quick suggestion. Make the 5 tree pics and the 4 detail pics into a checkerboard design. That will make the tree pics standout better.

    ..do you mean: tree detail tree, detail tree, detail, tree detail tree? I kind of wanted the leaves to be the center image.

    checkerboard:

    In my opinion, that balances better. I would even consider changing #s 3 and 7.

    I like how 9 looks like it flows into 5. It might look like it furthers flows in 3, with the above switch. And 1 and 7 will look somewhat contiguous also.

    Mind you, this is all pretty trivial stuff. I don't know if it improves it or not. That's up to you.
