It is made slightly easier by the fact that one is a given, the delightful Mariela from Barcelona: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws/uploads/2013/38_25.jpg So I only have to select one :-) But I am sticking to the Leica thing, and so only pictures taken with the M8, or pictures taken with the Fuji X-Pro 1 and a Leica lens are eligible for selection.
