Thanks for the comment Jim. Regarding the border - I considered going without but felt that the piece of bark on the edge just kind of "ran out" of the frame, so I put an edge on it. :-)

Without border ==>

Cool. I hear what you're saying and appreciate the feedback for sure. I guess what I see with the border, in this case, is like a mat you'd put around a framed photo when framing. Wanted a bit more to offset the neutral grey used on the DPC background. It is a very selective choice to make and one used lightly - also knowing that a border does put some people off I did give the choice some consideration.

Pointage for palate- nice. Frame detracts. GL.
