Clair Mantle Portrait

All images below have been scaled to fit the stretcher bars from the previous portrait. Each is an example of various scales and cropping. To give some perspective in relation to the previous portrait, the face sizes in these images are, left to right, 1/3 size, 2/3 size, 7/8 size compared to the original portrait. To crop tighter that the largest image shown here, far right, would be to begin to lose images fidelity. The original portrait was shot with a more telephoto lens that the one in this series which accounts for the difference. NOTE: in the crop you choose I would recommend the removal of the green garden hose. Please call me at 503-680-9480 to discuss options for the final canvas print.

Three images have been added of the cabin in winter. The image on the left is what you sent to me. The one in the middle includes brightening of the cabin and some additional edits and enhancements. All of the files you sent to me are the basically the same size (best at 14” x 21” - not optimal for a full 36 inch width). However the image in the middle and on the right do represent a full 36” width. The edited images (middle and right) have received some special sharpening and noise reduction enhancements. A small amount of internal light was added to some windows so it looks more lived in than the original image. The cabin has been lightened without diminishing the sky. Overall, at a full 36 inch width it will look a little soft on canvas, but will present well - more painterly than high resolution photography. I would prefer to proof a section of the image at the 36” width to be sure it could be recommended as a finished canvas print. I will check to see if I have enough stretcher bar in stock to complete it at a 36” width anklet you know. The height of the enlarged image in the middle is 24”. The one on the right is the same width but stretched to reach a 27” height. Unless the spot above the mantle requires the 27” height, I would leave it at the natural proportion of 24”.
