I received the canvas last week, I just wanted to say I'm delighted with how it turned out.The quality and finish is excellent. I got a canvas done by Aldi a couple of months back and there is no comparison between the two.

4.If you are going to select the fulll bleed option for your canvas,make sure you have enough room on the sides of the main subject so we can wrap your image around the edges without encroaching in on the subject matter, this however may not apply to say landscape style shots.
popart or artistic styles
5.If you are going for one of our artistic or pop art styles,your photos should be sharp and well lit,photos from the waste up usuall work best.Here are few examples.
