Salon Print Competition

LeeHowell

I recently joined the local professional photographer's guild, and they're having a salon critique coming up next month...I'm trying to prepare my images right now and I was wondering if some of you might be able to give me some constructive criticism and feedback!

A total of 6 images will be printed 16x20 and mounted on a foam backing...If the image doesn't crop well, I'll plan to add some tasteful/simple digital matting to fit the canvas.

Some of these contain the same subject/person...I can only use ONE of each subject though, so these are just candidates at the moment...

I may add more images in a later post, but for now, here's a few I'm considering (And their respective category):


(1)
Social Function

This one has a slight tint too it that I don't like and I'll remove if I decide to use it...


(2)
Social Function



(3)
Portrait of a Group/Social Function (??)



(4)
Portrait of a Group



(5)
Portrait of a Woman

Too heavy on the vignetting maybe?


(6)
Portrait of a Woman



(7)
Portrait of a Man

Sorry - I know these really cover a wide gamut of different subject matter - If you'd like to reference one in particular in your reply, you can give the # instead of quoting the image.

I appreciate any advice!!

Just a quick BuMp...I can take the hard stuff if no one likes them - Just interested in getting any ideas/feedback at all - I've seen them all a million times, so maybe your eye will catch something mine hasn't that can help me out when it comes to making a decision and getting a quality print ;-)

My favorites are 10, 14 and 19 for their respective categories.
