Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) At the 2006 Tall Stacks Event, river conditions prevented all of the boats from docking at Cincinnati. The Mississippi and Delta Queens took passengers on over-night visits to the towns of Madison and Maysville. When these grand old riverboats returned, they met for a race, a parade of boats and a fireworks display. That night, they docked side-by-side at nearby Schmidt Field. Early the next morning as a fog slowly lifted, I witnessed a timeless scene that sadly may never occur again. This magnificent sight made me feel like a lucky riverboat gambler holding three of a kind, when I was dealt ... A Pair Of Queens.
I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures and painterly-style effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
