		I have a photo that I had taken a while ago, and my wife would like me to enlarge it, probably onto a canvas, around 60cm (24 inches) wide.
 
 I'd like to hear your comments on the image itself, and possibly what I might need to consider before making it big.  The original was taken on my old P&S.  It's a 5 megapixel JPG image, so I won't get away with a normal photo print that big, but I can probably get away with canvas.
 
 There is a bit of nasty noise in the sky, but that can be easily dealt with in editing.
 The rest of the image is not so great photographically - the roof and the beach sand are blown out.  Not much can be done about that, except ignore it.
 Straightening the horizon is easy.
 
 Anything I should address before printing?
 Any special recommendations for sharpening for a big print?
 General comments/critiques of the image would also be appreciated.  :)

		| Wow, you did very well to pick the image from my folio on my description!  Great detective work!  Yes, apologies - I forgot the image link.  I've added it now.  :) |

		| Nice color and angle. Try cropping just below the rocks below the pier and see what you think. |

		Thanks.  The photo is already on my wall.  :)  I fixed up the noise, levelled the horizon, tweaked the contrast and colours.  It looks good at 51cm x 71cm.
