Ordering Print - What Finish

anonymouscuban

I hope this is the correct forum to post this in. I want to order a print from SmugMug of the picture below. Which finish do you guys think I should use:

• Lustre
• Matte
• Glossy
• Metallic

??????

Metallic all the way! Mmmmm tasty tasty metallic!

Metallic is a GORGEOUS paper, but at the cost of $$$. But...it's freaking beautiful. My second and last choice would be Lustre. I wouldn't even bother with Matt or Glossy myself.

I think it depens on the size. If you get it printed small I think metallic would be disapointing. There is a definate drop in sharpness with the metallic print and i think that could hurt this image. I may be wrong about that though - perhaps it would just enhance it.

Luster is by far my favorite paper from smugmug, but it could also look nice in glossy. What about canvas?

Metallic if you can afford it, else Lustre!

Metallic it is but what does it look like? Can you describe it?
