I just received my metal print from Adorama (Page 2): That must be beautiful in metal. I've been tempted to do a metal print, but I could never decide on a good enough image. That's...

If you are curious about the original, I did take some suggestions and modified it.

That's great! I just ordered a 16 x 24 metal print from Adorama last week, first time for me as well, I hope I'm as happy as you are!

Metal prints are cheaper then tatoos, and you can turn them around if you get tier, or divorced.

I love me a metallic print...the next step above that is taking that print and putting 3/4" acrylic in front of it...simply stunning.

And - they don't hurt, they hold up better, you can move them around, they won't give you a disease, etc.

I just ordered a 18 x 23 photo on aluminum for $39.99 with free shipping at Gallerydirect.com.I have ordered other photos on canvas from them & was very happy with the results.Check them out if you get a chance.

It seems like everyone has had a better experience with metal prints than mine. I just got a 16x20" print last week (promotional deal from "Picture it on Canvas"), and I was very disappointed. My standard test print (same size) from Costco was much more vibrant and had better detail. I wonder if something went wrong?

Maybe you should check Dave,they usually are beautiful but I don't know anything about picture it on canvas but I would let them know I wasn't happy with my photo.They should refund your money or try again until you are pleased!

I was thinking about that, actually. I do want to give them feedback. I was also disappointed that they limit the file size quite a bit. I had to down-size my jpeg in order for the website to accept it. I shot the photo with my D7000 - it was 16mp to start, not exactly huge relative to other cameras these days.

Did you make sure the "AutoCorrects" box (if they have one) was not checked. They are never an improvement.

The winking guy happens when the " ) are together. If I'm quoting something inside parentheses, I put a space between them.
