Peter,
You need to get Lightroom or something that lets you look at each shot
fairly big, and all of the shots together.

If you have Photoshop, maybe you can do this in Bridge.  Sort them so all
the similar ones are together.

Be brutal and get rid of all but one that is good of a particular type
shot.    Don't worry about colour temp, just the composition, focus, and the
aww factor.

In this set you'd be down to about six shots.

Now pick the two or three you like the best of those and fix the colour and
post them anywhere but Flickr.

Did you get that new battery yet?
