Dear Greg,
I have this darn problem with my images, and I always want to see them as a large image, such as 24X30 and framed, because I know how much detail happens to be within the image, right down to the subtle tonal changes within the shadows, and the highlights, even in a group of trees a kilometre away...
Printing an image to fit a 16X20, or even an 8X10, seems to trouble me, because this fabulous detail can be lost in a small image simply resulting from the size of the print, but smaller images do have their place within my portfolio. Posting an image on this site, albeit a jpeg for convenience, cannot show the full dynamic range an image could contain, compared to an image within a properly lighted gallery environment, whether the image is large or small. A gallery environment tends to give an image the opportunity to be very luminous, full bodied, and properly presented.
As a side note, I periodically discover humorous moments when my images are viewed in a gallery environment, because I tend to find that a potential client or collector reviews the image from a very comfortable viewing distance, while the curious customer with the "I have a camera that will make me a perfect image" over their shoulder, just left his or her nose grease on the glass. The client always discusses the tones, the balance and, or whatever they may find interesting in an image, while the other image maker is still looking for that squirrel I told him about earlier.
Again thank you for your comments.

There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!

Mr. K,
4x10? Once again, very nice image! What are the "tech" specs on this? Film, lens?

Hoarfrost
A deposit of interlocking ice crystals (hoar crystals) formed by direct sublimation on objects, usually those of small diameter freely exposed to the air, such as tree branches, plant stems and leaf edges, wires, poles, etc., which surface is sufficiently cooled, mostly by nocturnal radiation, to cause the direct sublimation of the water vapor contained in the ambient air.
