It's been 12 years since I did a fair. I am setting up to do them again and trying not to repeat my mistakes. I would greatly appreciate any comments on my booth photo. Thanks!

Thanks, these are great suggestions. Jury image is what I had in mind. I was wondering how much of the top I could crop off. I'm going to try all these suggestions. I especially like turning the pedestals sideways. I do have more Pro Panels, Larry. I think setting up the booth in my backyard when it was 100 degrees influenced my thinking process too much. I wanted a little airflow with the mesh panels. It didn't help, it was still very hot in there.
I don't see you name or logo. I would do something with so much white space on your cubes, even if it was a wide zig=zag or a large arrow pointing to your piece. Something to make it look more lively.
Feedback on your booth as at a show or as a jury image?
For a jury image, the pedestals are nice and I like the tier arrangement but they should be larger in the back with the larger pieces. The pedestal fourth from the front on the left side is out of place and you can't see the piece on it. Also crop three quarters of the top off to eliminate the white sky. If you have more Pro Panels, do the entire booth with them or maybe hang large photographs of your best pieces on the white walls to make the booth look fuller.
Could you set up a few of your bowls or plates, up on end? It will add a touch of visual excitement and variety. Don't be afraid of angles, turning pedestals sideways.... just a thought. Ann Marie

Opps, I'm sorry. I am quite new to this and have never had to do one for a jury photo. So all of this is good information for me.
