I set out to capture some evening light and bokeh among these grasses. I was quite pleased with this result and am thinking about making a canvas print. I've never had one done before. Any thoughts about whether or not this sort of shot would work well for that?

i think this is a beautiful photograph.
if your going to print i would do a square crop....
lots of nothing over there on the right.....but include the little guy on the bottom mid center...
basically keep most of the left half

how big of a canvas?

Thanks!

Here's a 16x20 crop. What do you think of that?

Hi there Elaine, the forground of the grasses catching the light really stand out, and you have achieved a nice Bokeh for your background too.

I prefer the second crop of the image myself :thumb .... Skippy :D

Oooh, grass! Beautiful. :lust I DEFINITELY like the second crop - good call, AN!

I'd be tempted to try blurring the background just a little bit more - the highlight edges are distractingly sharp, and I can see some grain near the top.
