The color hues may look slightly different and may have a different tonal range and brightness than you may see on your individual computer screen. Please be aware of this. When it is cropped and attached to the single mat 8x10 inch backing board you will be able to see the  backing board around the borders of the print. It makes the print look like there is a wider margin at the top and bottom of the photo (which you can see if you look at the photo, it is longer than wide). An 11x14 inch frame (or larger) with a custom cut mat from a frame shop or art store is the suggested way to display this photo.
