My next thought is what is the custom frame going to cost.

I like the photo.

A lot!

Thanks. I don't think all the details can be appreciated at web size.

I agree with that in this case but I believe it works both ways. (Meaning that web size helps some photos and hurts others.)
 
lol mods please change to "Hot off the printer". Oops.

Done!

And it looks gorgeous - must be amazing to see in person. Great work! :)
 
May not be an issue if you get it properly (professionally) framed, but I'd strongly suggest that when you get large prints done, you have the lab laminate them onto some sort of stiff substrate. For example, at my lab I can choose to have them laminated onto card stock, foam core board, corrugated plastic (gator board) or something more substantial like wood or a composite material (forget the name).

I do this with any prints over 8x10.

In my office right now, I've got 4 20x16 prints in frames. They are a few years old and likely because of humidity changes, the paper has become wrinkled. They look OK from the right angle, but from some spots, they look pretty bad. Lesson learned.

Thanks for the tip!
