Black border takes away form the "softness" of the image. A white border with a thin black outline or no border at all would have made this image much better! You will probably loose some good votes because of it IMO!

Pretty good composition however the thick black border is a bit distracting to me. My eye seems to be drawn to border first instead of the feather.

Border is way too thick and with the location of the feather it drawers your eye away.

I like this but I really don't care for the thick black border around a pic in a light on white challenge. I think it takes away from the pic a lot.

Beautiful - classic High Key image. I would have preferred a slightly narrower and mid-grey border, though - this one is a little dominant in my humble opinion.

I am a fan of borders but one is too much and destracts from the subtle image, it keeps drawing my eye away from the feather.
