Richard,

one disappointment should not make you withdraw from 2016's book. It's a bit
like, or at least hanging an exhibition, you made your decisions - which we
allowed you to do - and that should be it.

In any exhibition you may not like the juxtaposition of images, but that 
doesn't
detract from the value of the exhibition as a whole.

If it worries you that much, you could perhaps offer the choice not to change
the pairing submitted by the photographer.

Keep at it!

Peter
