Considering the quality of your sample above, I'm really looking forward to what you are going to post. Let's see some Ansel Adams type photos - you are very capable of producing them.
If I didn't know better, I would think that was an Ansel Adams photo. What filter did you use to get the sky so dark, or was it an editing achievement? I can't remember if I had used a polaroid or a red filter to do that with B&W film.
I set my default prices based on the size of any given print; Fine Art America prints the image based on customer preferences … canvas, aluminum, throw pillows, tote bags, shower curtains, greeting cards … and adds the production and shipping … I get my default price.
If a customer includes a matte, frame, etc., I get a percentage on top of my default price.
For example:
Default Prints Prices
When I upload a new image to my Artist Website, I can specify default prices for each of the available print sizes.

The original shot is in color, and, as I always do with "scenics," I uses a circular polarizer. I forget exactly how I blackened the sky … Adams did it by burning his negatives … what I probably did was …
1) Desaturate the original to almost grayscale … that is, I removed enough color until the image "looked" black and white but "felt" like, instead of the 256 gradations of grayscale from white to black, somewhat more tonality. It's hard to put into words, and, I think saying it "feels" somewhat different, makes an apt distinction over merely "looking" somewhat different.
2) Select just the sky portion of the image and adjust the LEVELS until it darkened in such a way as to generate a dramatic contrast between it and the mountain. Note that the sky is actually a gradient -- very slightly lighter at the horizon.
Headed to a few National Parks soon … will take pictures of course.
This one's from a few years ago.

I hope Yosemite is on your list.
I was in Yosemite several years ago, but not going this time.
Going to Arches, Moab, Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, Monument Valley … with a few other stops.

Thank you, Buzz; I am flattered.
Here's one from Yosemite …

How do you arrive at a price of $27.?

Very cool pic Mac and a nice change of pace.
Beautiful poster Mac!
Yellowstone is on our 2017 schedule. Your photograph is equally beautiful and inviting!
What NP's are you planning to visit?
Beautiful! Looking forward to your future National Parks' photos!
Beautiful picture! I love how you see the mountains in the background, and it does look like a giant caldera! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
Can't wait to see more beautiful national park pictures!
