Photo Exhibition - DPChallenge Forums

Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8

I am hoping to participate in the local Arts Festival with my camera club being held May 22 - 23. There will be outside judges brought in.
I thought I was ineligible for this event since I am a new member of the camera club, but it turns out I can enter! Problem: I have until tomorrow to submit! I can enter up to 6 photographs, but they have to be framed and ready to hang by a wire.
So, I plan to enter:

(16X20 plus mat and frame)

(11X14 plus frame)

(16X24 plus frame)

(16X20 plus frame)

The first two are framed and ready, so those are a given (I think). The last two are not framed yet.

Questions:

1. Are these good choices? (See my portfolio and DPCPrints links below)

2. What would you suggest?

3. Have you done this before - if so, what the heck is a half-board and a full-board? (for display purposes?)

;/

Thanks!
K-

edit: I have to tell them and put in my entry fees by tomorrow, but I have time to get my act together before the exhibition.

I think they are all good choices. Another one I really like is your bumble bee and en... can't spell it or pronounce it :)
Good luck!

Congratulations!

Were there prizes other than ribbons? Not that it matters. The feeling is the same.

Nope, but it's awesome! :)
Lots of "oh wow!" comments from passers-by on both photos. Many didn't realize they were photographs - said they looked like paintings.
One woman asked if she could paint the likeness of it!! :)
