I like the "Night time harbor shot". Not too crazy about the other one. Before investing in a canvas print, I usually get a cheap print from Costco just to see how it looks large scale. For a 16x20 print, Costco charges me only $5.99. Good luck.
Night time harbor seems dark for a room print but probably not for a gallery print view.
Beautiful Sunset would grace my wall will a low intensity light for sure.

I can't answer your question but I wanted to say that first image is beautiful. Have you considered printing it on metallic paper?
No I haven't, but I did have someone recommend that in my photo club. I'm not sure what the metalic looks like, so I'm gonna give it a search - thanks for the input.
First one is good. Other is pretty ordinary.
The harbour one very nice can you lighten the rocks a tad. The sun as silhouetted the rock's a little to much IMPO

In my eye, there is too much information for that large a print. Not sure where or when exposed to this concept: big -less detail, simplify; small- greater detail
Harbor shot definitely - I would not frame, as the eye will follow that pier indefinitely . . . the second one seems either too dark (if you want the foreground) or too light (If you want the sunset / shore silhouette) Frame for the second one.
The question is, do you think they are good enough? One of the other folks posted this link to a site that does canvas pretty cheap in another thread,
http://www.canvasdiscount.com/. Hope that helps some.
For a canvas, I think #2 has an artisitc quality to it.

I think that they are bother very nice, however, I agree that the second one is a little too dark, I would definitely hang the first one. Very nice composition. :thumbup:

Don't waste your money on the sunset shot, it is mostly dark water and has no real interest. As for the harbour shot, this is also a little dark and is not the most interesting of images either, but if you really wanted to do a large print, do it on metallic paper and don't waste money on Canvas.
These are of course my ideas on the two shots and others will agree and disagree. If I were you I would find the cheapest place to make a large paper print, take it home, stick it on the wall for a week and see if it still really pulls you in to view it all the time. If not, then don't bother with canvas. If it is a print you would hate to take down, then go ahead and have it printed on Canvas. In fact you can even get metallic effect canvas now.
