Default Photo selection advice.

In the main lobby at work I have the opportunity to hang Approximately 6 ,11x14 pics. The frames I bought today are all the same. I have 3 that I really like and going to hang. They are country side shots and they are in colour, I guess the question is should they be all colour and should I use the all the same thyme ?? I was thing because it a western thyme could I put in a still life shot with a guitar and a cowboy hat, or just go with landscape.

What is cool that in our lobby we get CEOs of major companies and celebs have gone through such as Tony Bennett, Arrow smith, George Straight, and Brad Pitt to name a few. So I want it to look good.

You should be ok with a still of guitar and hat. The main thing I would be certain of are the tones. If they are all going to be part of a big grouping, then the tones across the photos should be on the same page. If they are hung apart from each other, then it wouldn't matter if there's a still of guitar and hat.

Thanks for the advice Lori, They will be grouped together and the guitar pic was done in sepia, so think I'll leave it out for now.
