wrapped canvas - help please

tweet25 · 06-20-2012, 09:26 PM

Hi - I joined a local camera club, (we are not pros- well maybe there is 1 that is ) and I would like to submit a wrapped canvas photo for a little show they (we) are putting on. Would any of these 3 photos look ok? I am not too sure about how they will look on canvas. & the more I look at my photos the more I dislike them, but when I first took them I kind of liked them. any advice would be great. and I would even take scrap all 3 and try again, rather than waste a couple hundred dollars on the print and shipping. thank you

Not the first one. The second and third have possibilities and, of the two, I prefer the less-cropped of the two!

thank you for having a look, and helping me decide - the 3rd one is not cropped - I took at least 40 photos ... lol.. from different angles, there were a bunch of old cabins that were in different states of disrepair. I liked the 2nd one too, except the sky in the top left is weird and I can't seem to fix it in PE or gimp.

what if i went in a different direction and went with a flower? would this one blow up ok? or it is just a 'snap shot?" thanks

Sky? It looks more like low-lying clouds against a backdrop of trees on a mountain-side. If it is, it may account for your difficulty in trying to fix it in PP.

I like the cabin better than your flower.

yes clouds ... ok - i will order it up and hope it looks good. I'll let you know how it looks on Canvas thank you ! (I took the photo in Rosswood BC population about 10 ..lol..)

Thanks, I'd like to know. How big will the canvas be?

it was 16 X 24 and maybe 1.5' deep - the Frame MADE the photo

... I was happy with it. I was very happy with the rag paper print I got. The Black was very very black

I'm glad it turned out well for you, tweet25. The experimentation is a lot of fun - you never quite know what you are goin to get! Good going!
