Sorry, but IMHO that is not a $400 image, regardless of the size. I hope the OP is not upset by my candor, but he did ask for honest opinions.

I was going to suggest cost x 2 for $270.

The falling water, in some parts of the image, appears to be vertical. In this case, that's enough for me. Beautiful photo, by the way....

I stared at this for a while, as my first instinct was the same (which, with all the comments on this might give the OP pause), but looking at the intersection of the falls with the pool of water at the bottom, which is where it should be level, it appears to be. As another commented, the ledge on top may well be tilted. And the vertical part of the falls also appear straight up and down. I would check and play with this a bit to verify

In terms of pricing, no opinion on that part of OP question, as I am not qualified to do so.

Framed I would say $300. That way you make some money and find out how many people really like it enough to pay a fair price.

It is a very nice picture.

After reading comments by the others, here is my two cents:
1) You had it framed because you liked it, so keep it for yourself.
2) Sell prints to your friends either at cost or preferably at some reasonable price - say plus $5 or $10, or double your print cost.
3) If it was mine, I would do my own matting and framing and which would cost me about $40 or $50 more and I would then charge from about $125 to $150. Not trying to make big profit off of friends.

I have done both, on prints to friends. I gave my daughter a 24x16 print for her dining room and it cost her about $300 to have it framed with a triple mat.

wow that turned out very nice. Big decision only you can make but!

Some time ago I shared about a foto I got in London on a Foggy morning just by the Tower Bridge.

It was just one of those that you get and is a keeper. No intention to "get remunerated" it was being at the right place right time and Zip there it was and I got it.

Prints, you have to get back your 20 bucks and think these folk really like what I have captured.

That foto is going to bring solitude and peace to certain people. Don't prostitute yourself. It has an inherent value to you and to these folk.

Charge a fair price. Selling it cheap does just that, cheapens your efforts. Have you been to an art show and seen a piece you really liked?

You view it and view it and decide that is perfect. You look in the corner and it says " $200.00. You think, thats a little more than I thought it would be.

If its really good you buy it and are happy.

Same goes for those "several people" who are interested in your work.

The piece that is mounted and framed? You have created an even more valuable piece because you used your creativity in the presentation.

People pay for quality and don't balk at a reasonable price.

That probably really did not answer your question but it did get you thinking .

Good luck.

ps that framed piece in an executive office would be a conversation starter and I would start it no less that $250.00

When I do shows I take my costs (in this case it would be $115.00 plus $20.00 for a total of $135.00) and round it up to $300.00. However, that price is a show price for folks for the most part I have never met let alone worked with.
So, here is your dilemma, your coworkers have asked you to sell a copy to them. Most of your coworkers have not taken into account YOUR ACTUAL costs (equipment, experience, technique, time involved, etc. etc. etc.) If you charge too much, you will offend them because they will feel they HAVE to purchase it cause they asked you to. But, your thinking "I don't want to give it away, but I don't want to offend them".
I would suggest you give all your friends two prices, one price for framed and one price for print only. I would suggest $45.00 to $55.00 for the print and $190.00 for framed print. Then, your coworkers can decide what they want to do. If they buy just the print (some thinking they will save money and get it framed themselves, they will end up paying up to $170.00 for both the frame and print. That way they have saved $20.00 and you have made them happy twice (once for the print and once getting it framed). Win win.

I disagree. Art takes many forms and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I would charge $200, and if no takers, I would hang it on the wall.

All things in nature are not parallel to the horizon. Does it really make a diff?

JimBart Loc: Western Michigan

If you want to sell it I would say first copyright it and then sell it to them for double the print cost. Let them frame it as it the most expensive cost and they may not like your frame taste

I don't mean to disparage the photo, but I agree with mwsilvers comment above. I think the average person would "choke" at a $400 price.

I do like the composition and subject but this photo is not level. When a horizon is not visible you have to use other guidelines. The water in the stream that is equidistant from falls should be level across the stream or the water falling on the far right (not deflected) in the falls should be vertical. You may not get it perfect but it should pass the eye test. I have corrected it as I see it (attached). The photo is also soft, probably due to lens quality. As such this photo should not demand pro pricing. As an amateur I usually either gift or price at cost or just sent the file and let the recipient do as they wish with it.

Are they co workers you like? If so, cost plus a 12 pack of my favorite frothy beverage.
