Thanks Rebecca, I wasn't really going for the frame on this shot but it just sort of happened, I appreciate your honesty. I also like the frame and I'll keep it handy for a shot that it would be more appropriate for.

I love this frame but not on this image. I think this would be beautiful on a square or wider image.

Hi Stu, I think Judi said it all, i would give her the Critique of the Day Award, now about the frame it self, it is a taste thing, i might like it, another person might not, some photographers like big frames, some only like a small border. As i said it is a taste thing. I've tried a big variety of frames and borders, and till now i still don't know if i should use them or not :)

Stu, frames are good if they are used in the right manner. Sometimes an image has no natural framing and you find that your eyes wander out of the image. By adding a frame you are controlling the viewers direction of eye, thus making them look at the details and make up of the image. In this particular image the colours and water are good but there are no definite edge areas to restrict the concentration of the viewer, so in this respect the frame is correct.
The frame you use however is important. A thin one compared to a thick one, a soft edge, compared to a hard edge, a dark tone, compared to a light tone. All these aspects determine how the image is complimented and whether it accentuates the overall mood of the image.
I hope this makes sense to you.
Judi
