Six months later I have come back to this image and considered the many comments both in favor of and opposition to the border I selected. With the passage of a little time I conclude that while I respect all opinions to the contrary, I think the border works and I'm glad I added it. Sure would have liked to top a "6" with this image, but that notwithstanding, I'm glad I submitted it as I did. Thanks for the comments.
heyah, ray! love the image, but honestly, my first reaction was, "why'd he put that border on it?" in general, i don't have a problem with borders--to me, they are just another part of the presentation to consider (i look at titles the same way). along those lines, if you are going to do it, ask yourself if the border is going to enhance or detract from the image? if you are just playing with borders, i'd suggest using your portfolio space to try them out, rather than lose a half point to a point from those that find it distracting or detracting.
all the same, great find, nicely observed! keep it up!
Well here goes.
This image had a lot going for it. Well composed, nicely post-processed, nice colors and had a nice appeal with the green foliage on the porch roof.
Notice I said "had" a lot going for it. The frame you added in here, wasn't needed and actually took just a little away from the bldg. A simple 10 pixel solid white would have worked better or none at all in my opinion.
I still gave this image a 6 and would have scored it at least a 7 or 8 had it not been for the border. Please don't take offense, as this is only my personal opinion.
I just raised my vote for you because I like the shot, and I appreciate that you did not punch up the blue sky. You left the image natural looking, good job
I think the border helps this image. I really like this. Honestly not sure why - what it is about the capture that draws me to it. Crop, focus, DOF, POV very good. colors work for me. 7 for now, may pass again. Bumping to 8
I'm not voting in this challenge, but just searching through, this one REALLY caught my eye. Great focus, exposure and colour. I really hope you ribbon with this. Even the boarder (which I usually hate) really works with this. Fantastic shot...Making it a favorite!!
Nicely done. You look like you did some dodging on the edges, but I'll let someone else be the judge of that. This is a really good picture. It's well composed and well balanced colorwise. This could be a winner.
well focused & composed. like the blurred edge effect. don't know enought to know if it was intentional or not but I like it! Wonder what it might have looked like in b&w.
Very nice find and nice detail. I don't care to much for the border especially with that tight of a crop. I think a solid white border a bit smaller would of be better. With that said, I still like you photograph. Composed well and lighting good.
