Simplicity in it's extreme form. Offsetting the image forces you to initially ignore the ridiculous frame, making the position of the image itself a significant part of the composition of the image.
Still, you realize that, while this image is pleasing, it simply can't be acceptable as a 7 or even a 6. You give it a 5 to indicate your level of comfort with the image, but to ensure that such a composition could not be seen as "good photography," which it of course cannot be given the lack of "border control."
DPC voter, you befuddle me.

in my experience large frames dont usually score well.
dont be discouraged, i like it that you're not afraid to experiment. :)
this is striking but not for a challenge.
I really like this photo. Think with this border it would make a great greeting card or similar. Hope it does well with the voters...I know a lot aren't keen on borders, especially in challenges.
red and green not pink and green
why the huge black dead space
very small photo doesnt allow for enough details to be seenfocus on the flower is ok, lighting is ok but perhaps could be more interesting.
title needs work but its hard when your photo consists of flora
Very strange way of framing this. I have to say I really like it although I'm worried DPC won't appreciate this shots originality. Beautiful flower shot too, good luck. 9
The salon look is ok for competition but I have found that I doesn't work here (no points off... just a FYI) I like the contrast between the pinks and greens
I would frame this and put it on my wall! Love the offset composition, feel like it's peeping around the corner at me! The noise is the green really sets it off as well.
Just a personal note, I really don't like this as a frame. It would make a nice greeting card, matted print or something, but it looks a little odd to me. For the purpose of the challenge, I think you would have been better served to use all that black frame to let us see what appears to be an awesome shot. (and no, it does not effect teh score I give, just wanted to give an opinion)
Teh shot is very nice. I like the high/tight crop you have used, and the colors are very nice as well.
The complimentary colours of green is red and I feel that the flower is too pink to really fit into the complementary colour category. The photo itself looks to be good. Also, I think that for DPC, the border is too much ... the photo becomes too small to properly judge although I think in print form, the border would probably look cool on a decent sized photo. JMO
It's difficult to tell, with this, if you are making a statement with your border or using it to cover up portions of your photo that are best removed. While I can appreciate borders that aren't "standard," this one isn't really doing it for me. The colors of the photo look beautiful, though.
2 - Different. Risky with this framing here. Ultimately though, I'm seeing more pink here than red, so color scheme(s) not as strong as could/should be, in my opinion. Hue adjustment may have helped, depends what you were aiming for. Not sure your framing enhances your shot, but your call. Nice shot overall, but not strong enough Challenge wise, in my opinion.
the shot is too small to judge properly with such a big border...which would look amazing on your wall just as it is...I do like the photo, but you can't really tell if it's sharp...it looks sharp, but at this res it's hard to tell 7
