Pre-challenge notes:
Probably a shoe-in (that's a shoehorn pun, btw) for the brown, unless Charlie decides to enter a black rectangle with a single white pixel in the middle.
I expect to get some interesting comments.
Post challenge notes:
Cleaned up on comments with this, and a bit surprised that I missed the brown by a fair margin. Here's the larger sized image, as some commenters suggested it would have been better without the huge border.
Nope.

The border is too subtle. A one-by-one pixel window in the matte would have been more effective. No one likes a half-assed wise ass. :) 10 for effort, though.
I'll be really curious to read your explanation of why you choose such a large black border. Neat way to frame the photo on your wall, but it does make it difficult to vote on the pic. Looks like a neat photo. Very hard to decide what to vote on this one...
That is one impressive border! Good clarity, super cheerful colours, and made me laugh. Have to deduct a point or two for the lens flare on the shoe-horn, though!
I really can't understand what you did there...the size of your photo is so small and what about this giant black hole? I think there may be bokeh there but i can't understand why you did this to your photo.
You need a higher resolution photo. I can't even see what i'm looking at. Your border is is way too large. I'm guessing you tried to shoehorn it in with the back border?
Yes, indeedy, the title says it all. I do think the bokeh is rather pretty and it certainly makes the shoehorn stand out. And I see you are quite taken with the "wider is better" concept of borders. I suspect you are enjoying your comments on this one ;-)
