Which size is right for your space?
- Living room (above sofa): 48x32
- Bedroom (above headboard): 36x24 or 48x32
- Dining room: 36x24 or 48x32, depending on wall size
- Home office or den: 30x20 or 36x24
- Large foyer or entryway: 48x32
- Hallway, bathroom, or gallery wall: 18x12 or 24x16
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
The man-made waterfall near Meadows of Dan along the Blue Ridge Parkway creates tiered cascades that work well for long-exposure photography. Using slow shutter speed transforms the flowing water into that misty, ethereal effect—individual drops and splashes blur into soft veils that obscure the underlying rock structure.
Converting to black and white emphasizes the tonal gradation: bright white flowing water against darker wet rocks, with the mist creating intermediate gray tones that soften transitions. Monochrome suits this dreamlike approach by removing color's grounding influence—without the natural browns and greens, the scene becomes more abstract, more about light and movement than literal waterfall documentation.
The challenge is finding the right shutter speed: slow enough to create the misty effect without completely obliterating all water structure and detail. Too slow and everything becomes formless white; the goal is maintaining enough tonal variation to show the tiered cascade structure while achieving that soft, flowing quality.
Long exposure and monochrome treatment create ethereal, soft interpretation of Blue Ridge Parkway's man-made cascade.
