Notes: For ease of do-it-yourself framing, all 8x10 and 11x14 unframed prints are nominally sized (with standard 1/4" margin insets to fit standard framing supplies). All other prints are sold with actual (true) sizing. Frames are 3/4" (19mm) width and are made of wood, except for the chrome-finish frame, which is aluminum. Mats are black core (with a black bevel), providing a 1/16" (1.5mm) width of black line around the photograph. A 1/4" (6mm) margin lies between the mat and the image. The title and India ink signature are placed within this 1/4" margin at the bottom. Backing is foam-core. All materials, including inks, papers, matting, backing, and adhesives, are acid-free. Prints are lacquer top-coated for preservation. Glazing is UV-blocking acrylic.

Artist's description:

This was a remarkable shot that presented itself while I was visiting the southern shore of Lake Erie. There were these two little girls, all dressed in pink, feeling very pretty with their pink parasols, as they gazed out over the incoming waves. Of course I didn't have my camera! So I did the only thing I could do -- grab someone else's -- a disposable. I got as close as I could, which wasn't very close, and I took one shot, just as the girls were getting up to go. The usable image only took up 25% of the frame, and the optics were terrible, presenting chromatic aberration and distortion in many parts of the photograph. With great effort, I edited those problems away, for the most part, but I was still left with grain the size of golf balls. What to do? Well, this photo did remind me of an impressionist scene, so I made it so. Voila! C'est magnifique, n'est ce pas? (Click here to learn more and to see "before" and "after" shots.)

Artist's technical assessment of the image quality:

    Sharpness: The brush strokes in this 13 megapixel uncompressed image are of very high resolution.
    Camera shake: none
    Digital noise: n/a
    Compression artifact: n/a
    Chromatic aberration: Edited away!
    Distortion: corrected
    Maximum acceptable enlargement: This image will satisfactorily enlarge to 20x25, with excellent sharpness.

Image detail:

    *These are swatches from the image when magnified to the indicated size, as viewed on the average 17" monitor at 1024x768 pixels. They show you the actual sharpness of the print that will hang on your wall. If you have a smaller monitor or have your monitor configured with more pixels, you should "imagine" these swatches a bit larger. Please note that compression artifact (including checkering and banding around higher contrast edges) may be evident as you view these images online. This is a compromise in jpeg images that makes them quicker to load on a web page. The printed image will not have these defects, unless noted under "Artist's technical assment of the image quality. (See "Compression artifact")."
