Hi all, I have really fallen in love with this image and would like to have one on my wall. My only problem is I cant decide which one I like better. So please vote on your favorite one and maybe why you chose the one you did. I am eager to see which one everyone else prefers. I would buy both but I dont think it is needed.

You should just buy them both.

I like both for different reasons.

The horizontal print shows more of the landscape surrounding the Fortress of Solitude which adds a bit of depth to the piece. The downside is Superman is a bit lost in it all.

The vertical piece sacrifices depth and much of the surrounding landscape for a greater emphasis on Superman himself.

I'd say if you're after more of a landscape print the horizontal works better but if you want the focus to be on Superman go with the vertical.

If I had to pick one... its tough, but I think I'd opt for the vertical print myself. I really like the depiction of Superman's ascension into the sky.

Both but the one with more landscape gives the picture more substance.

The landscape one kind of gives you more bang for your buck image wise and will allow for more more display options. I have a couple vertical prints in these exact dimensions and found my options somewhat limited TBH.

Just an update, thank you for all the input. I decided to go with the vertical variant. As was mentioned it has a little more Superman presence in it and I think I have the perfect spot for a print this shape.

Make sure you show it off when you get it framed!

I think it's a good choice. I picked the variant up myself and it looks great. Looking forward to framing it.

Will do, aside from this one I also ended up picking up a JC Batcave, Englert walking dead GID, and Englert you are my lucky star print. I look forward to framing them

I voted vertical. I was considering it for display with the Hot Toys Reeve Superman figure. But I need a poster with more focus on Superman.

Man, that's a Rain Man Vegas score. Nice pickups! I'm a big Englert fan myself. Missing his Thing and It prints along with the SDCC lucky star. Pretty pricey.

Nice choices. :thumbs2:

Just framed my Englert Walking Dead and The Thing the other week. Posted pics HERE (http://www.statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=122725&page=14) if you want to see.
