IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN YOU WILL LOVE THE ACTUAL PRINTS

GENERAL INFORMATION

Each fine art photograph is sold in a LIMITED EDITION numbered series with a maximum total of 40 prints.
(The prices may increase as the number of remaining prints in the series decreases. Images may be discontinued without prior notice.)
The prints are inspected for any flaws prior to shipping and include a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

From the initial exposure to the finished digital file, each image is captured, processed and managed by Mark Overton. After all adjustments, corrections and editing are completed the digital negative is printed at a professional lab on Fuji Crystal Archive (FCA) gloss paper with the Chromira printer. The Chromira LED printer exposes the light sensitive paper before it undergoes a traditional �wet� photographic chemistry process. This process results in prints that have deep, rich and vibrant colors with a nice glossy surface. Some black and white images are presented on Silver Rag paper using a top of the line Epson printer and their excellent quality archival inks. For custom paper requests or canvas gallery wraps please contact me for more information and price quotes.

IMAGE CARE & PRESENTATION

FCA paper is designed to resist fading and with proper care has excellent print permanence. When choosing the print only option please be aware that they are full-bleed, which means that there are no white edges. (The white edges shown in the example below is representative of what a black mat with a white core that is bevel cut would look like.) The prints can be damaged easily by folding or creasing so please handle with care, holding from opposite corners only and preferably using white cotton gloves to avoid smudges. When working with a professional framing shop you can request that the mat overlap be as small as possible and for best results consider dry mounting. (This is a permanent solution where the print is adhered to the mounting board using heat and pressure and will keep the photo permanently flat and avoiding buckling or waving over time.) There are a multitude of options for mounting and framing and therefore the photos are currently available as print only or with a black mat.
�Emerging Glory�

Ideally, the images should be kept under UV glass or glazing and kept out of direct sunlight in an area that doesn�t have large temperature fluctuations or excessive humidity. If there is too much light in the space some images perform well using non-glare Plexiglass. If it is too dark, additional lighting, even pointed directly on the photo, will drastically improve the visual aesthetic.

THE SITE

WildernessCompositions.com features fine art photography and downloadable screen savers by Mark Overton. Though the name compositions is in the title of the site, this does not mean that the photos are digital composites of cut and pasted parts to make whole scenes. (See DEFINITIONS of the site title below.) Panoramas can be stitched together from multiple exposures to achieve the desired longer dimension while maintaining high resolution. The digital darkroom is a powerful tool but no elements are added to the images that where not originally there.

While viewing the site please take the time to enlarge the images by clicking on the image thumbnail or title. This helps to show some of the detail of the actual prints. However, please keep in mind that the photos on the site are low-resolution and relatively small in size to aid in faster viewing times. These web friendly images are merely representations of the high quality, high-resolution, fine art prints offered for sale. The photos are prepared in accordance with industry accepted color standards and monitor calibration software. Having a properly calibrated monitor helps to approximate how the photo art will appear in �real life� but the real thing is still far more impactful than what you see on your monitor. So�..
