Larry, Ken, - thanks for the followup information.
Bulent:
Other people have suggested what comes out well on metal (paper or
aluminum).
My experience with metallic PAPER (and from Larry described, I assume
prints on aluminum sheets have similar properties) is that glossy works
much better than matte. I am not sure about other 3 types of finish that
BayPhoto has.
I know that this photo comes out really well;

Just recently I used this for a birthday card - for the kid who likes
rainbows:

And it looked very well on Epson Metallic glossy paper that I mentioned
earlier.
Ann: I had used "Metallic Photo-Chrome Pearl" (from Atlex) that also got
discontinued recently. and then I found the new Epson Metaallic glossy
which is noticably better.

Thank you, Don, for the pointer.
I wasn't aware of that option. I just looked, - and they are indeed very
pricey. I like some photos how they look on metallic paper, and those
aluminum sheets look like an interesting option. But at this price, I'd want
to see how it looks first. So, I'll probably hold off until I can get to some
print shop that has them to show (which might not happen any time soon,
unfortunately).
I just managed to find a shop in Houston that presumably does this type of
prints. "Presumably" is because they don't have the price list on their
website ( http://www.akerimaging.com/ ). But I called them, and they
confirmed. I will try to stop by when I am in Houston on a weekday to look at
the samples.

Thanks. Yes I will hunt some down maybe from Red River as Paul S mentions in
another reply. I was referring to larger prints on sheets of aluminum. They
are pricey but come with a hanger and require no other framing, mitigating
cost somewhat. With the right subject and lighting they can be quite
attractive.
