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 an amazing scene, and I was so happy to have photographed it. It's not just another sunset picture. It's really about the stallion, with fire in his spirit and a frisk in his tail, looking out for the two mares. I was traveling the backroads of Ohio, when I spotted these magnificent horses standing atop a hill, with wisps of colorful clouds starting to form overhead. With the kind permission of the family that owned the farm, I situated myself in the pasture and started shooting pictures with a telephoto lens. As I reeled off dozens of shots, the sky metamorphosed into a stunning spectacle of luminescent textures and brush strokes. The odd thing about the experience was that the sunset was rather small and unimpressive, except through my telephoto lens. It was one of those spiritual moments, when it seemed as though someone bigger than myself was saying, "Hey, you, Sarah, watch this!" Amazing scene! Wow!

I captured the image with a Canon 10D and a 28-135mm USM IS lens at 130mm, 1/1000, f6.7, RAW format. Editing was only minimal. This photo is printed on Epson's Enhanced Matte 250 (formerly "Archival Matte) paper, for its warmth. Other papers are available on request. All prints are top coated with spray lacquer for image preservation.

Artist's technical assessment of the image quality:

    Sharpness: one of my sharper, higher-resolution images
    Camera shake: nothing visible
    Digital noise: minimal
    Compression artifact: none
    Chromatic aberration: low/moderate
    Distortion: unknown, irrelevant
    Maximum acceptable enlargement: This picture can be comfortably enlarged to 20x30 and larger, with excellent sharpness and detail.

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")."
