Late Sunset

This is another one of my photomerges...30" on the long side.
Am going to start doing images with the intent of printing on metal for my LR and, perhaps to
display in shows. Need suggestions about print size...what would be excessively large?

Well, depends on the wall, viewing distance, etc. I don't think anybody can see just that.

I am missing something here, too...overly simplistic I think but I like the colours though...

I'm afraid I'm with Izzie on this one. I'm not sure why you would want to spend a lot of money on an expensive printing process on an image that doesn't jump out and says "wow"! Perhaps I'm getting a bit jaded, but there are a lot of "sun setting over the sea" images out there.

[chauncey]

Was just asking a general question...not necessarily concerning that particular image.

[Manfred M]

I don't think there is a generic answer to your question. The answer will tend to be very specific to the image and how it is being handled, and of course the end use (where and how it will be displayed).

A metal print would likely seem out of place in a traditionally furnished house. If you have a more modern or eclectic decor, something unframed and ultra-crisp of a metal print might go very well.

Ah...six teenagers...kinda requires an early attic motif.

24" x 36" would be standard for most walls. I gave a friend a photo this size and she has it leaning against the wall.

Well, while the image may not mean very much to some photographers because much better photos are always available, I can say that I like the image and I know an oil painter who mainly does this kind of stuff So, my comment would be about the very sharp looking horizon. I think the sharpness comes from the photo-merge and it looks a bit artificial. So I would soften it just a little bit to give the horizon a more natural look and I would also crop about 1/4 of the water.

I don't know anything about printing but IMO such an image would look good with a big size on the wall of a big room.

I've been toying with the idea of numerous easels scattered about and parking prints on them???

Binnur...your point is spot on.
