Is this picture good enough for a wall hanger print?

[JoelKlein]

Hi,
I shot this picture. (Z8 24-70 2.8)
I want to send it to WHCC for a 24x36 or bigger fine art print for a central living room wall.
It was not shot on f/8 because there was too much wind.

What are your thoughts?

Both are cropped slightly differently.

Thanks

Is your question more about the technical or aesthetics of the image?

IMO - if the image is special and/or "speaks" to you - what others think of it is rather immaterial.

I would say no, but of course that is just my point of view. I don't really see what the subject or area of emphasis is. And to me the tangents where the nearer tree blocks the background trees is not good. If you go for it I might straighten the horizon and clean up those stray bits around the edges.

^^^^ What he said regarding clean up of image.

Joel, If this scene has special meaning to you and your family, your opinion is the only one that matters. Print it… However, there are a couple things I noticed… The culdesac in the foreground may detract from the vista and a re-crop might work… Leveling looks good to me but Bill’s eyes are probably better than mine.. I don’t understand what f/8 has to do with the wind… how about this using a wide format…?
