My wife and I are going to a small party tonight, and part of it will be a gift exchange. We decided to take a couple of framed prints. One "male" and one "female". We are of a different opinion on the "female" print.

Which do you think would make a better gift for a female?

(For what it's worth, it will be a simple 11 x 14 white matte with an 8 x 10 opening, and a 2 inch black frame.)

Also, for what it's worth, this is the "male" print:

Thanks to all,

I would say the couple picture, but turn it into black and white.

Also, I suppose it would be helpful to know if you are male or female. Unless it is obvious from your username.

Thanks.

If you go with the seascape you might want to straighten the horizon before having it printed.

Yes, thank you. Already have. The only quick "uploadable" version that I had for this post was a slightly previous one, where the horizon was a bit off.

Thanks,

Rad

OK, so far "Sunset" is ahead, but I would still very much appreciate a larger sample!

If you haven't, please vote for one or the other.

I have about 3 hours before I start proofing one or the other.

Thank you very much,

Rad

that seascape is a memorable print- I think I thanked you for sharing it here once before. I would want the seascape myself. It inspired me when I saw it the first time, nice work.

OK then.

Sunset it is.

Now for the hard part - telling my wife she was right!

The sunset one appealed to me as well, although I'm a guy:)!

Funny, I got in the habit of actually offering women a choice of prints, and they were tickled to be able to pick a favorite of a batch of, say, 12x18 prints.
