Hope this is the correct forum for this question.
I have a showing coming up in the beginning of June. This will take place in Jamaica Plain, MA - a neighborhood in Boston - which hosts a "First Thursdays" exhibit. Basically, most of the businesses on the main street open their doors from 6-8pm on the first Thursday of the month and artists are chosen to display their work. The displays stay up for the month and can be sold.
I participated in one last year - which was my first showing - and sold a few prints. Enough to cover the costs of the prints and allow me to keep about 8 frames for use at home. I was planning on using these 8 frames now to display my best work. I am sticking to Boston and JP shots as I think these will go over better.
Here are my finalists and I would greatly appreciate any and all advice about which you prefer and any corrections that you feel need to be made before printing. Also, I had used WHCC for printing previously but was planning to go through smugmug this time. Any thoughts on true vs auto color?
Thanks a lot!!

7. The Lantern Festival - I like this one but wonder if it would sell at all. The lantern festival occurs before halloween and is a popular community event in JP.

Below are ones I displayed last time. Will likely only display this one (sold 4 of them and have one already framed in my living room):

These I have as cards and thus can display them for immediate sale in that form and/or allow people to see them for buying at larger sizes.
