My camera club has scheduled a show in the spring and members have been invited to submit prints for display with an idea toward selling. I am considering these two photos so far, one a night shot of Venice the second a close-up of a flower display. Since I don't have a printer, I will be sending these out. The Venice photo probably could use some further fine tuning ( I have Lightroom Classic) while I am satisfied with the flower display as is. One person suggest a textured paper for the Venice photo to make it resemble a painting, an idea that intrigues me. What paper and finish would accomplish that goal? And what would you recommend for the flowers. Although I have been taking photos for a long time, I haven't had any printing done since my film days. Thanks.

The first one, with a little cropping of the top, begs for black and white, gloss or semi-gloss.

I'd print the flower on metallic paper.

I have had photos printed on watercolor paper that do give a look different than being printed on photo paper. Before it closed in my town the OfficeMax had a wide format inkjet printer into which they would load watercolor paper for printing images. They turned out quite well, IMO.
