Lots of choices of more-or-less equal quality makes it hard to pick a likely winner.

Choices were not explicit enough, jumping back and forth to the page makes it higher point-of-entry. Each should have been put on their own with a single link.

The duration of the market was too long (was 1 month in the beginning).
The market below I put work in and subsidized didn't have as much participation as I hoped. What could be the reasons for that?
Resolution: I will resolve based on what I believe the reasons are on market close.

@MM As a stranger who bet on your market, I don't think this was an issue! One thing you did well was choosing a question that people who don't know you personally can still weigh in on.
@MM I'm guessing your photographer gave you lots of options, so narrowing them down to eight was a good call. Eight choices viewable on one page might been fine, but because bettors need to click back and forth between Imgur and Manifold, it's a little too much friction to remember which picture corresponds to which number.
