Patty,
Congratulations on the commission! I think all the suggestions so far are great. I like the way Allan has cropped leaving more room on the left so the figures are not centered, plus allowing space for the arm sticking out.
The only thing I want to add is a word of caution about photo labs. The usual way to print photos is to enhance the color.
At my local camera shop, I start by askig them to print a 4x6" with "no processing." They scan it into the computer and "print as is." They save the image on their computer.Then I look at the print and say "too yellow," or "too washed out," and they print out another 4x6. I keep stopping by until the print is correct, then I get it burned to a CD and printed larger. It s now calibrated to their printer. This is most useful for getting CDs of my paintings, but it could also be useful for getting a good reference if you don't have your own scanner and printer. Aside from the original $$ outlay for getting the scan, the rest should hardly cost anything because prints are cheap once the image is digital.
Good luck with this.It should be so enjoyable to paint.
