Sorry guys, I don't like the concept. It could have been so much better. We will reframe our skewed £35 10x8 photo, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, we won't go back. Find a small place, tell them what you want and pay a sensible price, say £200 or £300 or even £500. That's what I will be doing.
