Yes
I'm having some photos displayed in a local coffee shop, which is very exciting. :)
I'm looking at getting the prints done at DSCL. The size I want is A4. I've found they offer lustre or gloss. Which would you suggest I go for? The prints will be behind a glazed frame with a white mount.

These are the 3 images in question if it helps...

Personally I get most stuff on Lustre, although Pearl could suit 1 & 2.

Apologies for mentioning it, but are you looking to sell these? If so, while no2 is a perfectly fine image, will people want to buy a pic of a swing? Dont mean to sound rude, and I can see people liking the first or last one.

Its okay, I'm not offended.

In a nutshell, no. The display isn't solely as a means to sell the pieces.
The coffee shop is owned by a friend of mine who's an artist. She displays all different types of art in her shop and my work will form part of the display. The primary reason is for the exposure it will gain, rather than the sales aspect, as it will be included in her website and online vote for the best piece. I think the 3 images show different aspects of my work and as a limited display I think they work well together, and may cause people to go looking at my collection of other things.

Of course, if someone did want to buy them, then brilliant. There are all sorts of people out there. What you or I would buy will be different to someone else, and there may be someone out there who wants to buy a picture of a swing!

As for the advice on the paper type, thanks. Appreciate it.
