While I was at a big flea market event today Isaw some photo prints on canvas that I found impressive and have an image I'd realy like to give this treatment. Any suggestions on who I might order one from?
BTW: This is the shot.

I use mpix.com. Reasonable prices, good quality.
I know of one place: White House Custom Color

thanks for the question Jarhead. i've been wondering the same thing. i'll check out the two suggestions above.
here's another option:
http://www.adoramapix.com/products/gallerywraps
I guess I'll try Adorama first. I've purchased about half of my gear from them and have always had a good expirience.

Will do. I'll even try to get some shots of the finsihed product. It will be good practice for lighting for texture.
If anyone is still looking at this string, I'd be interested in any experience with the deal Costco is offering on Canvas wrapped photos. I've had good luck with MPIX too, but I was surprised by the pricing at Costco's website and held off going to MPIX because the prices were so good (too good to be true?)
I actually read an article on the gallery wraps at Costco. I was seriously considering them, too. In fact, I'm pretty certain I'll order from them whenever I need a canvas print (just to try it out).
Costco is kinda like a Sam's Club right?
If so don't you need a membership?
(We don't have Costco's in Mississippi.)

I'm quite sure you don't need a costco membership if you're ordering online from them, just a valid credit card. I believe you only need the membership card when you personally visit one of there warehouses. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
I don't know about that but, I doknow you do have to be a member with Sam's to order from them online.
Well the Costco talkgot me to thinking about Sam's where I do have a membership so I orderedan 11x14 from them. It's just under $39.44 with tax and shipping. I'll let ya'll know how it goes. If it is just "ok" it'll be a gift to one of the Grandmothers. Otherwise it's already got a spot waiting in the hall.
I'll give an update, possibly with photos,when I get it.
EDIT:I just tried on Costco's website and it lets you get to the checkout and then prompts you for a membership I.D. number. BTW - the priceisthe same as Sam's and the website seemed quite simular.
interesting. I've just tried on the Costco.ca (Canadian site) and it allows me the purchase with a $10 surcharge and no membership required.

*Only three for mebeing Iget a ten dollar discount becauseI work at the Nissan plant in Canton.
I got it today and I am quite impressed. I'll try to post some shots of it tomorrow! I can't imagine it looking any better. I'd do it now but I'm on my way to my nieces high school graduation.
