wadda ya think
I am having a hard time deciding which photos to use, these couple I personally do like, but I want your guyses take on these to see if they are gallery material, I am new at this gallery thing and really don't know a whole lot yet.

This first one I had to shrink it down alot to get it down to only 200k, it's a good sharp image at full size

or this one maybe, this is one of my personal favorites

maybe this one, I got lots of photos with Aspens and some from Crested Butte that shows the bottoms of Aspens with flowers, they have some shadows,

Hell I suppose I'll post one of them too, just don't laugh at me guys okay

If I was going to use either of these it would be the second one, the tarn on Independance Pass.

Paul - I think I would go with #2 as well. Best of luck with the show!

Paul, there are some of the best images I've seen you post. Well done!

#2 is a good choice but #3 is pretty good too. Nice saturated greens and blues in that one.

I'm going with the majority on #2, but I also like #3 for how far you can see up into the trees.

While personally I like #2 the best, it seems I have sold a lot more aspen photos that resemble your #1 and #3 whenever I have shown my prints to others in a show, Web site, etc. I like the flowers in #4, but I think they might be too much in the shade to give you a great print.

I think #2 is the better image (great work, by the way) but that #3 will sell better.

Paul, I've got no experience with sales, but I'd have to go with #3 for a show. It has beautiful color and is a representation of what many people have seen in the mountains.
Posted by Paul Gana on June 14, 2008 at 3:55 PM
looks like it's going to be #2 and 3 for the show thanks guysies

Yes Erik I do occasionally take decent photos :biggrin:

Paul, with galleries and the public it seems that aspen photos will sell as well as any landscape scenes that people can directly relate to. Reflections will work if people know the locale and like the image.
