Evaluation of presentation of final pieces

My ideas towards presenting my final project changed a lot and I had trouble deciding on a way to present my ideas. I eventually settled on a black cloth with images printed 10x8 spaced out in rows wit two dying flowers on either side. This was my final presentation idea and I think it works well. 
When I had cancelled my images down to the last 20 I was havin trouble visualising my final images in a presented way. I looked into many routes and turned to google for some ideas yet still didn't feel motivated to chose any. I thought about hanging the images but didn feel it would have much of an impact I looked at a few ideas relatin to graves themselves some of which were:

-arrange the final images in a gravestone shape
-create a small coffin in which the images are either on/in
-hang the images from a tree
-place images inside an old novel (story book)
-create a small homemade book with images in 

All of these ideas plus many more and I did not feel like any would present my images without takin away the detail. I decided on the end to present them on the floor as it was as if you were looking down on the graves themselves. This worked as my final images were all from above. I also decided on the colour scheme of black as it is typically seen as a dark and sad colour, linking with the project I was doing. I used dead flowers as a reminder of my aim and thought it enabled the audience more with something as an extra stimulus to look at. I also decided on placing my images in rows to represent a cemetery itself. The look of them in rows I feel added to my project. 

From looking at other examples of presenting my photogrpahy I didn't feel certain ways would be as effective. I didn't want to produce a PowerPoint as it would not show the emotion of my images so wouldn't engage them as much. I also didn't want to create a collage as the images do work well collectively yet I didn't want to overpower the audience all at once. 


Overall i feel it took me a long time to find a way to present my ideas yet in the end I really liked the outcome and felt proud of the images.
