Becs and I are going to get a few more photos printed and framed by Tim...but we're not entirely in agreement over which ones!

There's about 20 shortlisted, and we're probably going to do 5, in different sizes. I've uploaded them to here, would be grateful if people could have a quick look and let me have their top 3/4/5 photos - the ones they think would look best hanging on a wall.

Thanks,

Martin.

(PS - ignore the Burj al Arab one - that's an old photo that just happened to be in the folder already)

Thanks Toasty.

(Top one is one of my favourites too, but Becs isn't so keen) biggrin

Very personal choice and it depends entirely on what the photo's mean to you and the decor of the room they're to go in ... however, I like these best.









(Particularly the first one!)

Thanks mate. One of the first photos I took with a D-SLR (on auto, no-less! paperbag ), and I've struggled to improve on it ever since... frown

I loved it when you first posted it and I still do, just a perfect capture.

Quick update, having taken some more time to deliberate after seeing Gary71's beautiful alumninium panoramas from Whitewall. We're going for:-

A2 canvas, framed not wrapped:-


Large (36"+) print on ally or under acrylic, and tempted to crop more off top and bottom, make it properly 'widescreen'. Does that sound like it'll work better?
Edit: Bloody hell, why won't the Lake Minnewka one link properly? Ahh...it's the fking swear-filter that doesn't like the name! wink
It's the first photo in the album here, mountains and lake w/autumn tree in the foreground:-

A2 or slightly larger, format TBD - the detail would do justice to a print again, but I think the character might suit canvas better. Opinions?


A2 print on ally or under acrylic:-


A3 canvas wrap (there's a little noise in the image when you zoom-in, which canvas will hide):-




Still really like a bunch of the others, probably got the budget (and maybe the wall-space) to get one or two more done after Xmas. Shortlisted:-
- Japanese multi-storey temple as above, but we've lost the bottom-left corner of the roof...not sure if that matters.
- 3 elephants, but not sure on the colours or the framing/wrapping of it.
- ...and of course the desert island palmtree and Moraine Lake from toasty's post above. Very torn there...

Sorry for the thread hijack but is that a hotel?

If so any names/website??

Here you go - Emerald Lake Lodge. There was a wedding reception while we were there - a string quartet was practicing and well-dressed people kept turning up!
