Hoping to go onto canvas

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hoping to go onto canvas

Postby Geoff on Wed Aug 02, 2006 1:07 am

This is the image I'm wanting to put onto canvas, after talking with the mum in the shot, she quite liked this image and would love to see it bigger, dominating one of her walls at home. Comments welcomed. I thought the B&W treatment suited this well:

i would suggest Brilliantprints as they say they have a dedicated b&w printer.

i know from our canvas printing that black is the hardest thing to print and can have some pretty bad green colour shifts. A lot to do with profiles but a b&w printer would still do a better job i feel.

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"

Lots of emotion in this one. It will come up on canvas a treat. Will you be getting one for a display at the same time? What size are you hoping to go?

Cheers,
Craig

I mentioned earlier to you Geoff that I thought this was a winner, but I think it will come up excellent on canvas and your clients would be more then pleased with the results. If you can get a deal and get it a little cheaper get 2 prints done I suggest you do, a shot like that would serve you well in winning potential clients (IMO).

Geoff, Nice image and emotion. Great b&w treatment. Should work well as a poster print. I haven't seen any canvas prints so it would be great to see how this works.
Cheers,
Mick
