I had a thread in the main discussion about upsizing a print for a project. Got lots of useful suggestions. I wanted to mount a print behind an old window frame and here it is. It is 24 x 40 and there is loss of detail up close but at a reasonable viewing distance it is not to noticeable. C/C always welcome! Thanks to all who helped with their suggestions!

Will you share your technical details? Such as camera, lens, file size, cropping, etc. I am sure there are lessons for all of us.

Sure thing Randymoe!
Camera is D3000, lens is 55-200mm, file size is 4.3mb (3872 x 2592 pixels) Aperture priority mode at f8, 1/100 ISO 400 WB auto. It has been cropped and straightend. (see original below) I desaturated it so that the white panes would not clash with the green leaves. I sent it to a company called "online poster printing" and it is printed on canvas at a cost of (gasp!) $130.00. This company was able to do the odd size. This is about all I know about the tech stuff. I was really going out on a limb and was holding my breath until it came. I bout cried looking at it close up but when you step back it is ok.

Thanks for the details. They are important to share. I bet visitors will admire this. It may appear as Pointillism to some. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointillism
Printing on canvas also increases the appearance of granularity.
Congratulations of a good complete project!

May I ask what method you used to mount the canvas behind the window?
I like your image and the idea.

Sure, I had the image printed so that there was a 2 inch border around it. I used a staple gun to secure that border to the back of the window frame (I stretched it a bit as I went) I used poster board to cover that and secured it with a little hot glue in the corners to hide the staples and to protect the back of the canvas.

Very innovative. Like the idea and the shot, if I only had more wall space....
