I am going to enter my first local art exhibition. THe theme is Long Island (where I live) and the work should represent the landscape or the location, people, etc of Long Island. I have decided I am going enter a maximum of 6 pieces. I am finding it hard to have perspective on my own work, so could you please tell me which ones you like the most, maybe rank them. I am going to upload about 10 pictures. Thank you all so much for your help!

Yes..I agree! I think the docks pictures are recognizable..hmmm. But the vanderbuilt museum ones both are for sure. Thanks for the great advice!

One (obvious) thought: you'll want to choose photos that best express the topic of the ehxibition. Using recognizable subjects may trump an otherwise well-composed photo.

You sure know how to make it tough on a guy and gals here these are all very good. But for me it would be number 4.

Congratulations Alissa on your exhibit! :thumbup:
You have presented a very nice series of photographs making it a difficult choice indeed. I have looked over them several times, considered the Long Island theme, and have selected five that I would definitely exhibit. Of course, my tastes are not for everyone and the ultimate decision is yours. Actually, everyone of them would look great in the exhibit.
Anyway, and before I change my mind, here are my top five:
#2 - This photo has a solid composition with nice reflections and exposure and lighting.
#4 - Brilliant color, good leading line and the bicyclist for interest and perspective. This one looks very "Long Island" to me and is a great representative of the fall season here.
#5 - I like the repeating shapes, reflections and all of the compositional lines. With all the water surronding our island what could be more apropos than some docks?
#7 - A great evening image of the island with the boats in the harbor. Perfect exposure and a beautiful "blue hour" sky. The picture screams....Long Island!
#10 - An interesting image with a fine arch and leading line which shows winter on the island and has a holiday feel to it.
There are my five selections.....trying for six would have been too difficult considering all the fine choices. Well done Alissa and have fun at the exhibit! :thumbup:

Thanks! I am so glad that you gave your input as I respect your work and you are a Long Islander so your perspective is very helpful! I am entering these photos in hopes that I get chosen to actually be in the exhibit. Thanks for the kind words and luck! :)
