  One practice, and there are many, is to hang prints so that at eye 
  height, whatever you decide that to be, about 2/3 of the image is below 
  eye height and 1/3 above. When I do this I tend to want more of a 3/4 
  1/4 ratio. I also tend to hand the smallest print I have like this and 
  then line up the tops of the frames for the rest. Having the tops of the 
  frames all the same and all level makes a very nice presentation and is 
  visually relaxing.

Frames will be up to 30" x 20" or 750 x 500mm. I'm thnking there is a sweet spot from 45" to 80" or 1m10cm to 2m.
