I don't care for the border.

Simplicity itself!

I personally don't care for this border with this shot.

Too much red in the white balance
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/01/2005 06:57:09 AM
I would like this photo much more without the border...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think you have a good idea here, but the white on white is uninteresting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/30/2005 01:18:57 PM
well done, but I think you hurt the effect of the minimalist photograph with the garish frame.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The border really distracts from the image. I am trying just to see the mints, but can't because of the border. 4

OK... In spite of the border which IMHO is destracting from this awesome image, you made my wallpaper...Great job on a difficult exposure!

Like the use of white. Well executed shot. Don't like the border.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Is everyone telling you that this border doesn't work well with this image? Okay, then I won't bother making that point. ;-) The image itself is a really good example of both a small subject and a white-on-white photo, which works well for either definition of minimalism that you choose. Very nicely done!

LOL,

I like the way the mints are almost a texture in the photo almost blending into the back ground. Very interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/29/2005 12:45:27 PM
Very nice. Like the white on white, it definitely fits the theme. I like the composition and think its just an all around good entry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/29/2005 01:40:16 AM
nice idea. not sure about the colour tint. Maybe a green (Mint) cast would have worked better IMHO. 5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2005 08:41:13 PM
mmm altoids
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2005 05:50:45 PM
I think this would have looked better with a dark border. Otherwise, a nice picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2005 12:39:00 PM
Extra strong ! think I would have liked this better without the border
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2005 12:20:45 PM
lose the border; too distracting. Perhaps some more contrast or a little stronger lighting, or maybe not, im not sure, this is a strange image. a little too pink too. 4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2005 11:35:57 AM
Looks like this would make a great advertisement shot. Deffinatly fits the minimalism theme.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2005 09:32:52 AM
Good one, can you add borders on basic editing?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2005 09:02:44 AM
Great idea!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2005 07:44:25 AM
The picture is overall too gray. Shooting white on white is very difficult to do. I like how the border reminds me of altoids however.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2005 05:51:23 AM
Has a slight colour pink colour cast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2005 05:49:53 AM
Dont care for the pink tint
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 09:55:17 PM
border is distracting...nice idea
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 09:34:51 PM
the dark orange border is a disaster imo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 09:18:06 PM
the rose color...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 09:15:33 PM
i assume you're trying to mimick the altoids box by using that border. clever idea, but i don't think it works well here. it overpowers the otherwise great photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 07:12:37 PM
hmmm me thinks we stuck the fancy border to add to the dull image??
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 07:07:37 PM
I think that perhaps stronger shadows off of the mints or that a different colored background would help this shot pop out a bit. I like the placement of the subject, and the image has good clarity.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 07:00:14 PM
I'm sure I'm the first to tell you this... :) but the border...? Whoa!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 06:51:34 PM
Funny! Border is horrible (sorry!). But great title, and nice idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 05:51:16 PM
This is great and funny too Very crisp!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 09:39:35 AM
Love it. 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 08:04:49 AM
funny, but ohhh that border! Ouch!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 07:00:05 AM
LOL...love the title. Love the mints!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 06:10:23 AM
would prefer a simpler border
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 05:53:46 AM
The white doesn't seem white enough.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 04:25:14 AM
The border distracts.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 02:40:23 AM
AHAHAHA Love your title to go along with this great shot! :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2005 10:43:51 PM
I love it when people go the extra bit and take a challenge beyond the literal into the world of word play. Good job with the shot & title. That border looks terrible though, IMO. Disregarding border for grading, though. :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2005 10:08:21 PM
I really like the minimalism of the picture. The yellow and red border just doesn't seem to match the mood of the picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2005 09:03:06 PM
The border definately takes away from this photo. The white on white would have been so much better without it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2005 08:43:20 PM
Cut eidea, clever title. Probably should've just used one or two and smaller.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/26/2005 08:27:27 PM
Very nice... However, I do not care for this border... it really does not add to the photo - I did not take off for it. =) I just think that the colors of it do not look right and takes away from your photo. Otherwise I think you did a very good job. =)
