Got this done for daughters birthday and hung it in her room. It was her idea to take this shot at White Bay on JVD for possible enlargement. Had looked at various enlargement options before I found this company
http://mainecoastcanvas.com/
and surprised her with this 24x36 "Gallery Wrapped Photo Canvas".

We are very pleased with the results. Not cheap, but good quality print on PVC coated canvas, well made framing, with top notch customer service by phone and email.

Thank you for sharing.

It is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Can't wait to show Jim .... now we are in trouble. I think that this is just what we have been looking for.

Again, what would we do without this forum. Thank you so much.

Bumping this up as an FYI because I told these folks
http://mainecoastcanvas.com/
in a post purchase survey/email that I had mentioned them on this forum.
As a way of saying thanks, they wrote back to offer use of a coupon code USVIF to forum users for $14 off, which is the cost of FedEx shipping for the canvas prints.
They also noted that they use environmentally friendly inks and non-PVC coatings etc.
Additionally, they are working on a website where they will offering prints of photos taken by others, pros and amateurs alike, for which you would be compensated. That could be an interesting opportunity for some of the talented photographers we have here.
