i have been wanting to print a photo with the plexiglass mount process. i have only seen a few photos printed on them in an art gallery. they were pretty amazing. i realize the photos i saw were shot by professionals and a lot the amazingness is because of the picture so im not looking for my picture to look as good as the ones i saw. i just liked the way it gave the photo more depth. here are the two photos im trying to choose between. they would be anywhere from 16x24 to 24x36 in size. i would like yalls opinion on which one would look better. any advice on processing the pics differently would be appreciated also. i use lightroom 3. i have photoshop 5 but do not use it much at all. im pretty lost when i do use it. haha. thanks

im thinking about entering some photos in the natures best photography contest. this would be my first contest.
1)does anyone know if it is ok to eliminate backscatter in photos for the winland rice competition?
2)when cropping, would it be ok to change a picture from landscape to portrait orientation?

thanks for the help
