The people at the fair seem to like this picture with him holding the baseball towards the camera. :)

Im going to display this picture at the fair today.

And I cant decide between these next two. I like the concept of the pictures in the numbers, but I think the two numbers are the wrong sort for this idea, to much in the middle interfering with the picture. Any suggestions how to fix it?

Sorry for the huge pictures, smugmug changed the way they do the links and its to much bother to c/p the two types for each picture. Im being lazy today.

The smiles count as pictures? thats stupid.

No, I also think it looks really out of place.

On most of them - watch that you're not leaving too much head room.

so it seems photographers are not fans of the double images, but it seems the general public loves them? go figure. :) but since the general public is paying, may as well keep doing them. :D

2 things about that statement...
1st a great photography salesman told me people will buy more and bigger if the photos are great even though they dont know why the picture is great ie correct crop, exposure, lens, angle, light. the intent is to give you a critique in order to improve your photography and therefore, increasing sales and money.

2nd not all double images are bad we just dont like how they are done here
for example in the 3rd pic the player is covering the nose in a very awkward way.

And there's some poor halation, and more importantly he looks bored out of his mind.

Of the 3 comments, I took it as they were saying they didnt like double images in general, not just how they were done here. I appreciate constructive feedback and I made a mental note about the square on shoulders for next time. The facial expression was his "serious" look. We did some smiles as well but they preferred the serious ones.

I don't get requests for double images. They're probably still popular among the Wal-Mart crowd though.

#2 is what I meant to do with a senior girl but totally borked it.
