This is fun. Your presentable end-result must have ended up pretty small but clever you worked it in a nice, non-conventional frame setting to fool a bit more. 8
Very interesting composition... I just keep trying to figure out exactly what it is, but I keep fixating on the shot. I do wish the photo background were a bit crisper, perhaps a bit less sharpening?
not sure about the angle you chose. I don't love borders on pictures...I usually find them a bit distracting, and this is no exception. with the angles in the photo and the angles in the border, I find myself wanteing to tilt my head. (in fact...I'm tilting it right now as I type). I don't know how else to do it, but that's my initial impression. It's refreshing though, especially after 260 pics or so. good idea. Pedro
I like the shot, but I would like it betterif you left it in the landscape position without the black background and with more emphasis on the effect that the water in the vase has on the seaview.
My, that's a massive border. I don't really see how it adds to the shot (in fact, I'd prefer to see more of the actual image and less of the border, personally), though I like the rotational strength of the composition.
