Picture revisited

I have been mucking about with some of the new samples of Harman Gloss paper and my first impressions are that it could take over from Crane Museo Silver Rag as my favourite gloss/ semi gloss paper with Hahnemuhle Photo Rag still holding the matt paper crown.

My son recently signed a contract to by a unit in Brisbane and commented that his girlfriend liked my Storey Bridge Photo. So I want to print and frame it and will prepare the print on the Harman Gloss at 16.5" by 30". Downloaded Harman's ICC profiles and the initial first prints were nice but after playing in Photoshop ACR and with Smart Objects I lightened up the bottom half of the pic and in Print it Makes all the difference.

Maybe not as good on screen as in print?

What do you think?

Bob,

the revised version is much nicer, more details and by having cropped a bit off the bottom, it brings out the light reflections in the water even more.

cheers,

André

:agree: The revised edition is much better.

There is alot more depth to the clouds, and the colours feel much fuller.

Will look great on any wall. :D

I agree with comments regarding the revised photo.

Looking at it more, now, I would comment that it is actually a shame the bridge is there - I reckon the road bottom right and the city foreshore provide a great leading line and the bridge actually distracts a bit for it (maybe that is because it isn't as good as our Harbour Bridge? :twisted: ) This is just my comment regarding the view of the city from that location.

Still, an excellent photo.
