Help Choosing Pictures Options

[Coomer]

I'm contemplating entering some of my photography into a local art gallery where they're having a juried photography exhibition, and I could use your guys' help to choose what photos to enter. I can enter a maximum of four photos, and I'm wondering what you guys would choose if you could only pick four of the following and why you'd pick those photos.

















Thanks,
Christian Coomer

reasons for not picking 6:

1) even though it looks really nice and you put a lot of hard work into it; The pictures looks too easy to take. Most people will think you just took the picture, but they dont know it requires the suction cup tripod and two images.

2) its too car specific, most people will just think, "its a car... and?"


what type of crowd of people are we dealing with? college students? old farts? artistic people? average joe?

Yeah, I think you're right. My mom was kind of confused when I showed her and told her it took 10 hours of work...she didn't realize it was moving at first. However, the exhibition is being judged by a single juror from Seattle who is a photographer, so I'm sure he'd realize that it wasn't an easy picture to take.

It is also car specific, and though there's no theme for the exhibition, I think you're right that most people would think that. What surprised me was that the Celica picture was the one that won best of class at the last exhibition/gallery I entered.
