When in doubt, go bigger than you think. The art, including any frame, should fill about ⅔ the width of the furniture beneath it. Sizes listed are the photograph itself; framed paper prints, with a 2" mat and frame, are about 3–5" larger in each direction.

Framed prints arrive ready to hang
Framed paper prints are matted with a 2" white mat and protected by non-glare acrylic, so the image stays clear without reflections from windows or lights. Acrylic is lighter and safer to ship than glass, and every framed print arrives with hanging hardware already attached.
MetalPrints with a float mount or frame also arrive ready to hang.

About this photograph
Bodie Island Lighthouse on North Carolina's Outer Banks features the distinctive black and white horizontal bands that make it recognizable among the region's lighthouses—each lighthouse on the Outer Banks has unique daymark patterns for daytime identification. The original keeper's quarters still stands at the base, now part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
The challenge with lighthouse photography is avoiding the postcard-perfect cliché while still showing what makes the structure distinctive. Here, the classic view works because of the conditions—those dramatic cumulus clouds against blue sky providing visual interest without competing with the lighthouse itself. The white picket fence and manicured lawn establish scale and the maintained historic character of the site.
Bodie Island sits on the narrow barrier islands that define North Carolina's coast, where lighthouses were essential navigation aids through the treacherous Diamond Shoals. The lighthouse's height (156 feet) and distinctive pattern made it visible from sea during daylight hours.
Classic composition emphasizes Bodie Island's distinctive daymark pattern and preserved keeper's quarters against coastal sky.
