I was out of town when voting took place for this challenge, I wish I had been here though.
This is a beautiful photo and for me the border brings the focus inwards, which leads to her wonderful expression. That and I don't think of it as a border really, more like matting for the photo. ;)
It must be disappointing a bit to learn how many talk about the border when you show us this fantastic image of the girl with the green apple. I love the photo. But - welcome to Xion´s world of huge white borders.
Les, coming back to explain that I actually really dig this border, but I think that when putting it so small on the internet it makes the actual photo part a bit small. for a print, this would of course be the ONLY way to frame it. :) Killer shot.
I think the border works here also. I love the square presentations anyway and the border sets that in motion nicely. This is an excellent capture of childhood... It makes me smile :) It would also look good with a slightly heavier black stroke around the image...
I think this was an incredible shot...it seems to really capture the childs personality. I think a lot of people got caught up with the border, which is absolutely the way you would display it in the "real world". I really liked that it looked like a completed project. I'd give you a 10 on this one...nice work
I really like the expression and the cropping of the photo. Nice out of focus background and interesting foreground with the apple. It seems to tell a bit of a story perhaps? IMHO, the frame is a bit too wide. it distracts from the photo itself and I find myself lost in the white... But great capture of an expression! Well done
I dont think I have ever seen a border like that on DPC. Often I hate borders but this frame is very effective. Looks like he's foing to throw his apple right out at me. Love the contrasting textured of hair, face, sweater. Excellent - 10
Well it's a very cute image and can't fail to appeal. Given the charming pose, I like the unusually wide frame ... it makes me feel he's about to lob that apple straight through the picture at me. 7
I love the expression. this is a great looking little guy. i don't feel that the apple in hte hand is adding anything to this though, actually distracting from his great face.
I love this photograph. I once taught kids who really remind me of this little boy with the cheeky look in his eyes. The photograph is sharp in just the right areas and blurred in the areas you don't need. (with the exception of the apple, I think I would have liked to have seen that a little sharper). Good Luck in the Challenge!
I love this photo. I like everything about it. I even love that border. It really works for this photo. The colors are great, expression is amusing and the touch of green with the apple works well with the background and really pops. Well done, bumping to a 9
Awwwwwww. . . . what an amazing picture!!! He just makes me want to give him a huge hug. It's just a tad over-exposed, but I just love it anyway! Gosh. I hope you aren't getting killed for the border. This is normally one border-hating bunch! I happen to like it a lot and think this is an awesome photo!!!!!
What a great shot! Why the border??? Was it not big enough? I actual;ly would have given a 10 to this, but 8. I am actually not all that offended by borders, but why so big?
