 This is a layer blended image with 5 images. Taken in between Golden and Boulder on Hwy 93.

Post: I love this image, I was driving to Boulder one evening and the light on this field was amazing. I think it's very interesting how the border can drop a score. Can a border enhance a score? Is there anyone in this website that will give a higher score when that voter likes the border? It seems that the voters are supposed to be judging the image, not the frame or border. Sorry, just feel that not enough time is taken by many voters here. Yes, this is just a game. I have learned if I want a higher score, don't put a frame on the image. I felt the frame created this incredible feeling of depth. Without it, the image seemed much more flat. This image generated the most comments of all my entries. Very Interesting.

Nice scene, but a ruinous border. I know I'm generally border phobic, but I can't be the only person who thinks this.

I expect the "border patrol" has left a few comments on this one!

Frame is a bit much, IMO. Takes attention away from the pic.

Cool expansive landscape with good use of both near and bar subjects.
The border really takes away from the beautiful filter. Feels like something that would be added in the GeoCities days (sorry!).

Nice image, but that border just ruins it for me. 2 point deduction.

Not a comment you'll hear around here often, but I think this is very nicely framed. It compliments a very nice shot.

framing takes my eyes away from a beautiful landscape

nice photo, bad borders...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

really not a fan of the border. I think it draws too much attention from your image which I think is terrific on its own.

Yikes. Have to say the frame kills this for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

the frame is cool, but distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Ideal scene to put in this frame too.
