Hey Guys,
I was recently offered the opportunity to put up my Elk photos at a restaurant in Elk County, Pennsylvania. The area gets a relatively large tourist viewing (for about a month and a half a year) of the elk during the fall months.
I would like to cull down the herd of elk photos to 6 or 7 (pun intended). Your advice for what you think the most salable will be is appreciated.
James

I'm not sure if this makes sense, but I would possibly choose different photos depending on where they are at in the restaurant. If they are over the tables, where customers would be looking at them while eating, I might choose the more "relaxing" images, whereas if they are all in an entryway I might choose more that have a bit more "oomph" like the ones with the bull bellowing.
Overall I like best 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 12, and 14. I especially like 3 and 12.

I like 2-3-4-11-14-16 you have some great shots, but like anything else if you are from Wyoming you want be as impressed as if you are from Pennsylvania , so I think you will do well. I find I do better if I sell the photos to the restaurant and not depend on them. That said I would make it as easy as possible for the patrons to obtain your card etc. Good Luck James this is a very nice series.

I change my mind 16 instead of 14 I think the bowhunters in the area will like it better, and you can see the rack better. Better b/g

#3, #7, #11, #13, #16 and #18
I think those would make excellent prints.

Thanks all for the help on these...I know that it was a lot of photos to go through. Also, I was surprised by a couple that got consistent thumbs up (specifically #3) and one that was barely mentioned (#14). I am speaking with the owner of the restaurant imminently and this has definitely helped me key down which ones I want to use. So far, I think there is consensus on:
3, 4, 7, 11, 12, 16
I am debating using #14 or #18 for the seventh photo in the series. My only problem with the last shot of the juvenile elk is that I have never seen scrub brush like that on the East Coast areas I am frequenting. :P.

PS As Jim noticed, I am definitely looking towards 'sellable' versus 'favorite,' as I think that it makes the selection process a bit more 'objective.' LOL, we shall see.
