This was my first image where I added both text and a frame in photoshop. Since everyone is commenting on the font and the color, I will say that it looked better (darker and bolder) before I reduced it and posted it on the site but by then, since I hadn't saved it along the way, it was too late. And I could not figure out how to get rid of the underline once I put it there, so I just moved the text to where I thought it would be noticed the least.
Live and learn (as in, it took me most of an afternoon to learn - now I have to live with it). I'm glad I did it anyway.

I like the author's intent here, but the focus is softer than it should be. If it were sharper, it would have been a great image. The font selection is good, but the underline is not necessary and the color choice was less than thoughtful. It does what it's meant to do though which is represent the Met and it's majesty - it just has those few flaws that mar the overall impact.
