Got my 3 prints in the mail yesterday after 2 months.
The pictures are not vivid, not edited, and the photographer cropped out my Fountain roost! All 3 photos were almost identical and it didn't even look obvious that it was from the air. Cell phone pics from my friends cabin cruiser look just as good.
The prices... $420 for each print!! $930 for one digital photo! There's some BS "discounts" in there which brings the price of all 3 photos to like $840 for the prints. You don't have rights to use the photos unless you buy the digital copies.. so if you spend that much and decide to take a photo of the print and stick it online you can get in trouble or something. Not really sure what they do about it.
Don't waste your time waiting 2 months for the prints unless you love wasting money on bad photos. You'll also have to waste a little time going to the post office to return that garbage.

We had them take some for a run a group of us were on, the proofs they e-mailed were not bad but when I looked at the price I thought no way.
But I had already bought a metal print and the electronic file of one Pete did, no comparison. His prices are reasonable and you get very nice work.

Well, I know it isn't a huge amount of money but yes, I had to pay to send the big poster holder back to them. If I had been able to see a photo online before ordering, they wouldn't have had to waste their money.
