Hey Yak, I enjoyed looking at your booth shot. Even though your paintings are small in the photo they are very attractive looking. They would look great in someone's home.
I also didn't care for that carpet skirting on the back either. Other than that, you booth looks very uniform and orderly.
There should be clarification about whether this is a jury shot or how you set up at a show. I only critique jury shots unless asked to suggest better placement of images for selling.
For a jury shot, I can suggest a few changes in placement. Eliminate the two verticals on the back wall and center the horizontals under the two larger pieces. On the right side, the top row runs into each other so from the camera angle you can't tell where one piece ends and the next begins.
No bin of unframed work is visible and if you use one at a show, there should be one in the jury image.
Crop left and right to the edges of the display so you can't see what's behind or next to the booth. And all three sides should match on the bottom. Like Michael said, the back is too long and your carpet drags on the ground.
However, I think you might want to modify your panel skirts in the back. They are a tad too long. Perhaps raising them another inch or two. More importantly, I believe you need skirts on all three sides, or none at all. It just doesn't look quite right with the skirts only in the back.
Gotcha. Thanks for the reply and advice Michael. I agree on the panel skirts. Took the booth down before I saw my final photos. Enjoy your comments and contributions on here

Thanks Larry. Wasn't sure if the bins should be included or not. Will do.

Very neatly displayed. No nits.
