I have to say I was impressed with the quality and the "realism” in pictures. I bought it to be a "layer” and I added things in the front. I will say this. I bought the 5x7. Unless you are planning to use it as a decoration at a shower or party or for a child or pet this will not be big enough to do a photoshoot with an adult. It was my first backdrop as I’ve always gone with natural backgrounds so it was a learning experience.
