Going to print this in 2x3 feet

[Pred]

An older photo captured on my canon 60D with the vintage Hanimar 135mm F2.8 lens and manual focus.

Its not the best quality pic but I like the feel of it.

Please let me know what else I can fix in post. I did a lot of clean up on it. Fringing and color cast was pretty horrible.

Nothing is sticking out to me (I'm on a phone though). Looks good!

It could be my eye, but it looks like it's tilted a little to the left. However, it could be that the sand is sloping. The subject is pretty straight. You might try using the drift lines in sand in the foreground as a guide to rotate a tiny bit and see how it looks. But you don't want your subject leaning to the right.

A more fundamental question is: how many pixels are you working with? Large prints often trigger a discussion about resolution. I am guided by the reality that large prints are generally viewed from a distance. So the number of pixels per inch is not as concerning as for, say, an 8x10 print. I call this the highway billboard effect. Of course, if you're expecting people to put their noses up to the print to discern the detail in the shoes that she's dangling, then aim for 250-300 pixels per inch.

Im pretty sure the sand is not perfectly flat there.

I thought this was shot on my 60D which would have been 18mp, but it turns out I shot it on my even older Canon XSI, which is 12mp.

I have printer large with 12mp before. Its not that bad. I dont need it to be perfectly crisp

If you are going to print it out and hang it on a wall, nobody is going to care about the kind of sharpness we agonize over as we pixel peep at 200% on our screens.

I have a canvas print which is 60" long, made from a 12Mpixel camera...perfectly fine, plenty of detail, no criticisms, even from a professional who has seen it.

Strangely, my two largest prints (similar to the size you are contemplating) were shot one with a Canon Powershot and the other with a Canon FTb and then had the film scanned 40 years later!

I have many 12x18's shot with my 60D, 5D33 and a rented 7DII (safari photos) and nothing with my 6DII... Go figure...

The two big ones can stand scrutiny from 6 inches...

Run it Through topaz gigapixel. It'll give you a nice resolution boost for the big print.

This is really picky but I see a couple of hot pixels or maybe just reflections that I would clone out. One is on her left arm, one on the sandal, and one on her leg right at the dress line.
