Looking thru a few old files this weekend and came across this shot. I like the simplicity. C and C please.

Thanks Guys. I am thinking about printing this one 16 x 20 for the gallery. What you think, will it sell?

Great image, although I am not sure it would sell - don't ask me why, I just compare it to other bird pictures I have seen and well - who knows...

If I were you, I might print one up, 16 x 20, and matte it and frame it and see what happens from a selling POV. I always have trouble figuring out the matte and frame for my own shots, so I would be interested in what sort of matte and frame you use should you decide to do this for your gallery. Thanks.

Regards,

WesternGuy

WEstern Guy, All my own work is framed very basic. 2" matte black frame, mats are aprox. 3" white and 1/4" black on bottom. I do this for several reasons, Consistancy, Very good price point and I can make several at a time and have them ready to go. I have a few collecters that really like the fact that once they see a new image they like it will be at there door in a few days. Having said that, we always try to sell the custom framing and have collector that would not have it any other way.
