Please click the VOTE button under the image if you like it.
PLEASE NOTE: This image is designed to be gallery framed on gloss paper, and not specifically to be printed on canvas. That's why it has a small white border. I suggest Gallery Framing. Gallery framing usually uses a black frame (I use model HP4) and a white matte calculated at about 25-35% of the print's width.
As an example, a 16x20" print would need a 4" to 5" bright white matte.
These are just my suggestion and how museums usually frame photographs. All the photos in my home, (both monotone and color) are framed this way. It makes the image stand out, while giving a consistent look for all your hanging images.
World Campion Kenny Roberts, 1974, at the Ontario Motor Speedway. He was traveling at around 200mph. I shot it with an all-manual Nikon FM with a Nikkor 200mm lens.
Kenny's signature on this print is a reproduction. I own the original print.

Lar Matre replied:
Thank you, Anne. He was a world champion, and agreed it was the fastest photo of him. He and I exchanged signed prints.
