probably not the first person to mention the border, but i think even a smaller border would have done better. Eventhough i think it does add to the image, just thinner would have helped. Excellent composition

I'm sure you're getting a lot of comments that we'd rather see more picture and less border. It looks intriguing, and I'd really like to see it better.

Not 100% sure on the border but the more I look at this I like it even more. It has a very arty/abstract feel to it.

your border is too large IMO. A smaller border would allow a larger photo, and more detail
