wow, thanks very much!

Wow didnt actually realise how rampant theft is from flickr. I dont even have many images on there but just image searched a couple to find they are being used extensively by hd desktop background sites.

a quick google search comes up with 11.69 x 16.54 which sounds about right

Hi. I would really appreciate if someone who is experienced at this could talk me through their methods of mounting and framing or point me in the right direction of some decent tutorials on t'web. I need to frame prints up to about 30'' x 20'' and can source mounts and frames at a decent...

I suspected that your shot would be of a very high standard, and in my opinion blows the shortlisted entries out of the water. [/url][/IMG] i entered this, just because it was my most recent shot. Never expected to win, but now feeling slightly robbed by the shortlisted selection :lol:
