The small thumbnail test as a tool to select your best photos. The idea:

Look at your photos as small thumbnails (like the ‘icon’ view in MacOS) and use this as a way to select your best photos.

The heuristic:

If the photo looks good as a small thumbnail, it will definitely also look great as a big image.

Also:

If a composition is strong as a small thumbnail, it is a strong composition.
