Canvas or Print?

[colinb]

I"m looking to get at least one of these as a canvas print to sell on, but I'm not 100% sure which one or even to go for a mounted print rather than canvas

I prefer the top picture but I think the prop blur or lack of spoils it a little.

PLESE NOTE I HAVE REMOVED PREVIOUS EDIITS

The first for me too, there is sufficient prop blur for it not to be an issue.

As a personal preference, I'm not a massive lover of the processed versions.

Top one is my preference though I'd work the clouds further to make it more dramatic - think off all the painting you see of WW2 bombers and they have very dramatic skies.
I would also think of your possible audience who are likely to be of the older persuasion and so prefer a traditionally framed print over a more modern stretched canvas -unless - you get it as a board mounted canvas and frame that.

I like them both but the first is the winner in colour. I think a print will suit the shot much more than a canvas. A nice mount to compliment some of the colours would look great.

Phil if you mean the sepia/bw version I agree although I have pulled the saturation back on the coloured shots.

BP - I think you are right about the print which is why I have doubts about canvas, although rather than a frame I may use a card mount to keep cost down.

and thanks all for the replies

First one in a simple frame with a complimentary coloured mountmount. I'm not a lover of canvas.

Which Lancaster  is that Colin ... Is It the City of Lincoln  that  stopped flying this summer ?.Hubby would love that as a print .. he went one Lancaster B VII NX611 "Just Jane"at East Kirkby  as it taxied down the runway, two years ago as  a birthday treat. I'd be interested in buying a  large print from you ....

Just thought I would update this.... Following  my seeing this thread I got in touch with Colin and ordered 4 large 12" x 16"  prints  of  some of his aircraft images that he has posted on the forum.. I received them yesterday and I have to say I  am thrilled to bits with them . I am getting them mounted and framed  and will be surprising  my other half with them  the day after the chap in the red suit pops in ....so a big thank you Colin  for  some quality prints. Excellent  job . Thank  you

[colinb]

Thank you for that Polly but I think it should be me thanking you for making a purchase 

As a further update' below is one of the final Thumper edits

Sound idea Werebo but many of the aircrew take some wonderful pictures in places Jo Public aren't permitted
