Well I finally had a break in the weather that allowed me a couple of hours to attempt a booth shot. This was not only my first booth image but also my first time setting up my new trimline tent. Unfortunately I ran out of daylight and good weather so I wasn't able to get this shot as "perfect" as I was hoping for.
Anyways, besides the reflections which I know are an issue, whats your guys thoughts and ideas on this booth? Thanks in advance for any and all feedback.

There's nothing wrong with the roof. Looks totally natural.
The roof should be the main light source in a booth picture.

Hi Larry,
Is there any reason why LED lights shouldn't illuminate the work? Most brick and mortar galleries and museums use spot type lighting on paintings and it looks good. Of course, the "booth picture" is a mystery to me and what different judges are looking for could always be different than what I would do.
For one art show last year, I received a 5/5 vote from 4 judges and a 1/5 vote from the 5th. haha! C'est la vie!!
I'd like to think that an illuminated 10x20 booth might offer me the best odds of profitability. Granted the costs involved make this a significant gamble.
I wouldn't use any artificial lighting when you shoot the booth picture because it creates hot spots on the work and makes it very difficult to color correct. But at a show, there's no reason not to if you feel it's too dark, like if you're set up under a tree.

That makes sense. : )
I took the much welcomed advice and spent the afternoon figuring out how to properly replace the images in a booth shot. I now feel like this image might be able to benefit my applications as oppose to being a detriment. Thanks for all the feedback and advice you guys provided. Its much appreciated.
Pretty good job. Check your corners and edges at a high magnification, like over 400% to make sure they are perfect.
