[QUOTE="stmv, post: 795584, member: 10038"] got to decide now the framing of the metalic print, I am thinking nonreflective glass in this case,, since the print already has that shine,, and will look better without the glare of the glass, so,, that will be more expensive. so,,, I'll have to now research, I guess I'll use my local shop. but that will drive up the cost,, comes down to the cost/benefit trade-off.. but.... in this case,, I think I will hang this photo in my own house,, so,, having a nicer frame/museum glass even if now my base investment is up there. so,, my cost will be about 90 dollars. now,, at my gallery/commission place I have my work,, I guess I would need to charge 400 dollars,, so I would clear about 100 dollars or so. not really a lot to clear in dollars,, which is why charging 2000 dollars would be better.. laughs. if you could sell 1 2000 print,, course the gallery would take half,, so,, clear 900 dollars. I would really need to enter lots of contest to ever reach that level of return. Talking to the local photographers that reach that level of return, most tell me that they followed the getting awards path.. to rise the perceived value of their photos. [/QUOTE]
