About to order a print but am unsure if metal or giclée would give it the most impact. :dunno

We're leaning toward a 16 x 24 Float Mounted MetalPrint - High Gloss but haven't ordered the metal finish before. From your experience which finish do you think would be best for this print, and, for what prints would the other finish be preferable?

BTW, we're printing Bay Photo with colour correction on.

I recently ordered a metal, a giclee and a thin wrap to show as samples at a show. Clearly, my favorite is the metal. The color pops beyond belief. Now all I need to do is somehow convince my wife that I need another dozen or so for a "hall of fame" gallery here in the house.

The thin wrap was my least favorite, but at the show I took more orders for thin wraps than anything else. 8x12 thin wraps were the most popular.
