Merry Christmas all - I hope Santa was as kind to you
First off I'd like to say, well done and congratulations to everyone that completed this years 52 ( yes I know. One more and I'll get to that shortly)
There has been some absolutely stunning images posted through the year., I often look but rarely if ever comment.
I feel that would be unfair to those people's images that I didn't comment on.
New comers. How hard can it be to post 1 image per week?
I think you now know the answer to that
I doubt I'm going to be around tomorrow, so you get the last theme early.
Those of you that were here last year may remember it was a "Showcase" finale.
This year is quite the opposite, we all have them, why do we keep them? I've no idea.
What are they? Yes that'll be the ubiquitous Out takes!
Yes those images that didn't quite turn out as expected.
You have the perfect image lined up, did you get Photo Bombed? use wrong settings?
Some intentionally serious image went tits up for no apparent reason?
You can use any image you like, be it a themed image, or just one snapped for the album...
HOWEVER This is purely a bit of fun. And not intended for critique but if you can't laugh at yourself,
give me a shout and I'll do it for you
@Dave70D Now you understand, why I said any of your images will fit the theme without shoehorning .....
Once again, congrats to all the 52'ers that completed the task in hand.
And thanks to Tim and Minx for keeping score

Well I can't do it, that is far too complicated for me, so I'm certainly grateful for both of yoo's in put@minx and I just put ticks in boxes and occasionally edit the WoS.
Hope everyone here had a terrific Christmas!
Likewise, I would like to say a huge thank you to @Cobra , @LC2 and @minx for their tireless efforts in keeping us all on track!
And a special thanks to @Dave70D for all the great giggles we've had....lets keep 'em coming for 2020!
A big thank you to everyone who has taken part in the 52 this year, and for all the kind, supportive comments!
I've learned so much this past year, and I feel really privileged to be a part of this amazing community, and humbled by the fantastic images you've all posted here....truly inspirational!

Ponders whether mods can set default text and background (to white on white) for individual users
As Grant mentioned "2020" , I'd say "Hotel California" rules applyThat sounds like a definite sign up to me... What d'ya think @Cobra ?

And another one crosses the finish lineJust completed my 52 this year and looking forward to next years 52.
Donut in the checkout Aisle for @-Oy- please.
2019 Data Analysis
As promised.
The raw numbers show 2019 having the least number of starters (pictures posted in Week1 - not sign ups). 50.
However, by week 52, it was joint 5th on 17. This is actually a higher raw number of finishers than 2012 which had 101 starters.

This is borne out in the percentages of starters going on to complete the 52 where 2019 is actually joint second on 34%

Nothing out of the ordinary really in the pattern of drop-offs except perhaps for the straight line on 20 between weeks 30 & 41 (25/7-10/10).
Whilst I don't have the weekly data, I suspect it was lower during those weeks, with catch-ups occurring (I know I was guilty of that) due to it being over the busy summer holiday period.
Well done to everyone who managed to get over the finish line.
Especially @Allan.H on 8 completed and @michael23 on 9 completed (that's more 52s than we have spreadsheets for!).
Nah, just a couple of simple tables extracted from the "photos posted" rows of the 2012-2020 spreadsheets, then a few simple formulas to transform the data.Your spreadsheets must be frazzled.......
