I didn't want hijack the other thread, but I've a similar question to ask.

A while ago I took a series of photo's that I'm toying with getting printed up and framing, I've spoken to a couple of firms locally and I get the impression their advice is biased towards gaining buinsess rather than us getting something that looks spot on for our house.

I was hoping to be able to post something up here to see what the concensus was on the key picture, and get a feel to the size of print possible whilst maintaining definition; but the likes of Photobucket limit me to small file size. Is there anywhere I could place the image? it's approx 5mb.

Thanks.

Main image no smaller than 18" across I think, but it depends what the clarity of the original can deliver. The other two images (smaller, one on each side of the main one) probably somewhere around A4.

I'd send it to Photobox and buy a frame from The Range. £10 all in!

Another vote for Photobox.
Also, look at eframe. I've used them and they are great.
