planepics Loc: St. Louis burbs, but originally Chicago burbs

I took A to my "normal" framer yesterday and ordered work on it. It better look as good when finished as one or two corners demonstrated (it's the 2nd most I've paid for framing - just shy of $95). Finished size will be a hair under 12x20 and will have a thin black matte (1/4 or 1/2 inch) next to the image with a much thinker greyish-green (although I didn't see any green tint) matte on the outside, with a beveled black frame. This will be my 6th pic to have something other than a Walmart frame. I should get it in 2-3 weeks (it's a one-man and his wife operation).

Be sure to post a pic of the finished product. Good luck.

I certainly will post a pic. In the future I may re-crop to make the plane bigger and lessen the clouds or change dimensions (currently 16x9", but I'm happy with the way it looks now. Just FTHOI I used the pic as wallpaper for my laptop. After I printed it yesterday I used a magnifying glass (10 or 15X - one on either side) and I was tickled to find I could read the pilot's name and other words on the plane. Either I have a decent lens, a good focusing system on my camera, a good printer or some combination. Here's the last pic I had the same framer do (to show his work). I took the pic last year at Oshkosh and it was chosen as Picture of the Week in a daily aviation e-newsletter.

The matte colors do not necessarily have to match a color in the print. They may match one color or not but the matting will at least compliment the colors or complement each other if it's a doodle mat.

Like your second photo with the green and yellow yellow compliments the nose of the plane and green and yellow are complementary to each other.

Got it back form the framer this afternoon. The image has some weird discoloration that is totally absent from the actual print - probably a combination of the window and the nearby fabric drapes. I like it and it's going to go on my wall at the earliest chance.
