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
Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, transforms under snow—the rocky coastline, keeper's quarters, and fence-lined walkway all softened by white accumulation while the dark Atlantic provides stark contrast. Winter storms here create conditions rare for lighthouse photography: snow-covered foreground, active ocean, and that distinctive Maine coastal character under winter weather.
Converting to black and white emphasizes the tonal contrast: bright snow against dark water, the white lighthouse tower against gray sky, the geometric fence creating leading lines toward the light station. Monochrome removes color's distraction, focusing on form, texture, and the interplay between winter's softness and the coast's inherent ruggedness.
The overcast sky typical of coastal snowstorms provides even, diffused light—no harsh shadows, just gradual tonal transitions from white snow through grays to dark ocean. This lighting suits black and white conversion by providing full tonal range without extreme contrast that would lose detail in highlights or shadows.
