Here's a few....

The first image is the final edit that when printed actually came out pretty well. I don't know how many of you print at home but getting your monitor to agree with your printer can be a challenge. I have not calibrated my monitor to the printer as I don't have the software but from what I have read Mac monitors may not really need a lot of calibration, the bigger challenge I have found is getting the luminosity right as we tend to have our monitors set at a greater brightness than the white paper we use to make our prints... Anyway this was the 4th or 5th print before I got something I felt that I could live with. The other images are just a few that I have collected in the last week, not wall worthy but heck, most of what we post here is not wall worthy.

Nice work Blurry. I would say many are wall-worthy if you have the room. I think I recognize some NC waterfalls.

Very nice!! Thanks for sharing so that I can see how beautiful the scenery is this year. I had hoped to visit my friend but things just didn't work out.

A wonderfully colorful well presented set! Thanx for sharing!
I do not find my printer to be especially well calibrated to my MacBook Pro monitor. I manually profile my printer.

Very nice work! Adding printing to your process just makes for another level of maturity (LOL).

Those are some really nice images!
I particularly like the third one.

You just made a strong argument for investing in a calibration device and software, since if you print much in time it would pay for itself in savings of paper and ink!
Yes, Mac monitors are pretty good. But fresh out of the box nearly all monitors are overly bright for photo editing (causing us to make too dark prints).
And, all monitors change brightness and color rendition over time, as they age.

Yes, I turn the Display brightness down to about 15 to 20% when printing, I am printing on a Canon Pixma Pro 200, my first several prints were very frustrating until after watching a few YouTube videos to understood what was happening.
