Good idea or not?...

Now I need frame/mat color ideas.
Has anyone used Aaron Brothers for a custom frame? Any other framing companies that you would recommend?

Looks like they are for professional photographers with Tax ID#s or a website.

I love the photo--is there any more image at the top or bottom that didn't get cropped? Thight might help the horizon from appearing to be almost dead center (although, with reflection shots like this, it's kinda tough, huh?).

The more I looked at that image, the better I liked it. I hope you don't mind, but I had an idea: Have you ever considered doing something like this to it (just a quick and dirty edit--still needs to be blended)?

Yeah, there is more above and below the crop, the center point for this crop is just above the tree line.
I also haven't decided on the exact dimension of the shot that I will print, maybe a 20x45 would allow a less centered crop. I've also decided to go with a different shot that includes the new "W" tower and AA center:

I took a pretty much carbon copy shot on Saturday night, looks good. Have you gotten any quotes on pricing for having that printed? | | | |

Nice shots. I think I enjoy the wider version better.
Way off topic and maybe even inaccurate. Are you not a professional photographer? Just noticed that you shot it with the Mark III.
Also what did you use to stitch the photo with? | | | |

I say print it!!
I did a similar print of downtown Cincinnati. It sells quite well.
Try printing it on canvas and stretch it over stretcher bars and forget the frame and matting.! I use www.centerlineprint.com for all of my work. I have tried others but the quality and service is fantastic. | | | |

I only just recently made some of my pictures available online to see if there is any interest (link is in my signature). I figured since I enjoy taking the pictures and processing them, I might as well put them online.
This photo wasn't stitched, it is just a cropped wide-angel shot. I do have a different one that is stitched, but I don't know which file I'm going to use for the print. I like the idea of a canvas print and just recently signed up at simplycanvas.
