I recently purchased a used R5 here before my trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. I wanted a camera with more megapixels than my R6II for the express purpose of having a big print done for my foyer.
Well ladies and gents, it arrived today and it's up on my wall. At 9 feet wide by 6 feet tall it may not beat billboards and what not, but it's the largest print i've ever done of one of my photographs. I'm stoked. The R5 delivered flawlessly (with a little help from Topaz AI to enlarge).

Last time I did something around that size it was with a Canon 5D. But I merged about 30 frames into one huge image to do it. In this case progress is great!

Nice work, I used to have a large format print business and I printed thousands of these on canvas. You say this is 9' wide? It's always hard to determine the scale in photos as things usually seem larger or smaller. But I would have never guessed this print is 9' wide. If I had to guess I would say it looks more like 8' wide based on your furniture and floor tiles.

I bet the diagonal of the tiles is what throws off the estimate. They look like 2 x 2' tiles, and the painting is about 3 1/2 tiles wide. So if you said 2' x 3.5 = 7' it would seem small. But if you calculate the diagonal of a 2' tile it's actually 2.82', so 2.82 x 3.5 = 9.87'. So I would have guessed it to be about 9 1/2' wide.

I thought they could be 20" x 20" tiles but Max could confirm. Either way, after looking again, the best visual to verify is the scale is single gang plug cover at the bottom of the print. Those are about 2.75" wide. So if someone really wanted to they could measure with that and get really close to the actual width of the print.
On the ground the frame looks massive! It really is interesting seeing how much the perspective changed from far away to up close. The UWA definitely makes the chairs look bigger than they would probably look when standing next to the print.
Just curious, do you have, or plan to install, any special lighting to illuminate this massive print?
I'm asking because I recently purchased a home that was decorated by a design firm, and other than a few pieces of wall art that were removed, all the furnishings came with the house. Several of the locations where the wall art was removed have one or more LED down-lights pointing where the art was formerly located. I'm still in the process of deciding what wildlife photos to hang in each location.
