    Hi Jan. This is a tough one. Have you read any of the stuff by Steve
    Meltzer in the Crafts Report magazine on the subject of jury photos?
    It's very helpful. Look in the October issue. He does his annual
    review of jury photos submitted by readers. I was fortunate enough to
    have my own pictures named "Best in Show" a couple of years ago. 

    Mine were of bracelets and rings set on black plexiglass, with the
    lights moved around between pieces so that each photo had a similar
    but noticeably different lighting effect. One thing I think is
    important is that all the photos have the same overall feel, like
    they were all shot at the same time. And the quality must be
    consistent. 

    As to the choice of three similar or three different pieces, that's
    the hardest decision. I have generally opted for different myself,
    but this is where having a consistent photographic look can help to
    link different pieces into a cohesive presentation. But if you opt
    for similar pieces, I can't really see a promoter hassling you for
    having other stuff too, if the quality level is consistent. Good
    luck!
