What I'll be submitting to the S.D. County Fair photography exhibit

I'm taking a few vacation days this week, so decided today was the day to start process of getting the prints I will be submitting for inclusion in this year's San Diego County Fair photography exhibition.

I had ended up deciding to submit five photos. They are, in no particular order (as shown on Flickr):
I've been happy the last two years with the quality of prints I've had made at a local lab, Chrome Digital, for submission to the Fair's photography exhibit, especially because each of those years a print has been selected for inclusion. (A different photo each of those years.) Also been happy with the lab's placement of the prints on the display boards that are required for each submission.

Having put the files on a CD during the weekend, this morning I drove to Chrome Digital with it and ordered the prints. Five prints and attaching them to five display boards makes for a fairly hefty fee, but I'm feeling ambitious, so decided to go ahead with all five.

This afternoon I got a call from the person at Chrome who had started processing the files. He said the resolution I had set up for each of the photos was plenty to allow for making larger prints than what I had ordered, at no extra charge, so I told him to go ahead and do so. I definitely appreciated that! And he thought they might be ready to pick up tomorrow, which would be early. All very nice!
