What they wanted is VERY different, and not what I would put up at all. They are looking for a shot of only their hands and arms, extended straight out either side of the frame. (hands in the middle wife's arm out one side, husbands out the other side) The composition is NOT flattering IMO, it's boring and stiff looking. |
Uh, isn't that modeled on this small section of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Michaelangelo?

Not sure what you're looking for in terms of opinions--printing per the original thread or pose?
I like the color and overall feel. But the shots are still too small to judge, and they seem a bit unclear as well. Why not post a large one if you want technical opinions?
Even at this size, it seems to me the mans hand may be in an awkard pose. |

yes, with a lot less in the photo. That is what I thought inspired her too GeneralE.
nshapiro, hold on, I'll post a larger shot of the original so you can give technical feedback. I won't do it of ther one I've started working on as it is very rough around the edges and I made some mistakes when trying to edit at 1am. |

Larger version, totally untouched, minus cutting out the edges of their faces. I actually may be able to have a little more length on the woman's arm if I clone in more backdrop, and clone out her face.
Also, it seems sharper in it's larger version in PS, than here.

Kim,
I just realized that you are in the Cincinnati area. I can recommend Robin Imaging on Central Parkway for making large prints. They can handle up to 48" x 96". This is the kind of place that provides the level of service Bear_Music was talking about. You go in and talk to them about what you want. It is a pro lab with prices to match but they may not be as expensive as you expect. I have not had large prints made but I've been very pleased with everything they have done for me. They volunteered to redo work that did not meet my expectations. Their web site is:

I don't like the image all that much. It's kind of boring. The basic concept is okay, but the composition is a bit too simple as it is now. However, if that's what your customer wants then I'd give it to them.
