Flower retouch for printing

[corei5]

Hello I have posted this image i think and I decided to print it out and put it on my wall. The image is pretty big because I kept its original size and if I post it here it will break the forum rules.

so decided to upload it and let you download it to check it the file is already converted into .jpg but still have the RAW file.

I need some critiques from you guys about these images.

I like the desaturating background idea but maybe a touch of color in the BG would be nice.

sorry what do you mean by touch of colour? you meant give a little bit of colour than just a desaturated background? hmm sorry little dumb here.

[Greg McCary]

Yes, add a little color back to the background. The flower is fine.

oh okay I will try to put a little of colour back to it but overall is it good to print it out and make it as a display on the wall? also which image are you talking about 1 or 2 and their size what size of print out should I get that will not affect the quality.

[Greg McCary]

Either way you go it's a good shot. I am sure it will make a nice print.

btw putting a little bit of colour back to the background by that you meant increase the saturation from -100 up to -60 roughly.

I like the edit. I am not sure what file size you have? How big do you want? You can upload to MPIX and it will give you a maximum image size you can order and still get quality. 10mpix at 300 dpi could make an image 24x 16 no problem.
