...for the below photo?

I took this shot for a close friend and he submitted it to Comp Cams 35 Anniversary Poster contest and it was selected as one of the few (few is relative as they used a good number of photos to make up the large #35 on the poster, but it's still a select few population of all the motor heads in the US that submitted photos). I want to present this photo in a B&W version I have below in an 8" to 14" size (it's 21mp at 300dpi so decent resolution).

How would you have it printed? I have zero print experience.



Here's the poster: Comp Cams 35th Anniversary Poster | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Thanks,
Roy

Not sure if you mean the type of print process/paper? (ditto on the metallic! see MPix/Miller's, et al)


or are you asking crop ratio? (your 8x14 looks fairly well balanced, altho 8x10 may be more appropriate for a contest. Any guidelines in the rules?).

and great shot! Very deserving of the recognition!
