That's in impressive border. It takes up what, about 35-40% of your image? Why? Were you not confident in the quality of the shot? I wanna see more... More detail, more skyline to the right, not more border...

AAAAAhh... too much frame -- let the photo speak for it's self. It's a beautiful shot but so overpowered.
08/17/2004 02:58:53 PM
Elegant feeling to this one. Love the rich colors.
08/17/2004 01:32:49 PM
That's a beautiful picture but the HUGE border overwhelms the photo. Lose the border and put a smaller one. Still a nice photo though. 8

I like the boarder, however I really would have like to see more of the photo...because I think its just great.
08/15/2004 07:22:39 PM
The border may be a bit much. TThe large which frame distracts a bit too much.
08/14/2004 09:25:28 PM
The frame is a little too striking. It distracts. Should be darker/ more neutral, or picture should be brighter; perhaps level adjustment? Otherwise a good picture.

This is a gorgeous shot! Is it a picture of a picture or an actual shot?
I give this shot a TEN either way.

too much frame and not enough photo

I wish this shot was a little larger, its very nice
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2004 08:53:02 PM
I wish I could see the picture better, because I think its pretty good. You've used up a lot of real estate on borders.

this photo is picture perfect. unfortunately, the vanishing point isnt very present. if it were an open challlenge, this would definately place number 1, but since there is a specific topic, i cant give you the 10 you deserve.

this is a great picture, love the colours and the theme is there...i would have presented it without the frame...to me it takes away from the overall effect

Really nice image, but the frame is a touch much for my tastes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

That's a bit more than a "simple" border, very pretty, but pushing the rules.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2004 09:10:48 AM
that's quite a border you've got there...
08/13/2004 07:41:28 AM
The frame is a bit excessive, but nice pic anyway
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/12/2004 05:40:01 PM
this such a nice photo but the bright white of your virtual mat seems too bright and I find that it is very distracting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/12/2004 09:25:28 AM
I think you went a bit overboard on the framing here... it looks like a great shot, but I would have enjoyed seeing more photo, less border.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/12/2004 06:56:35 AM
This looks an absolutely beautiful image ..the lighting and composition are superb..I just wish it had been bigger so that it could be seen in more detail.
Great work nonetheless

The border looks like a picture frame. Unfortunately, it's not a good frame for this image. I think it would have been better to leave the "frame" off and post a larger image.
08/12/2004 04:23:34 AM
A very heavy frame for such a delicate image, I think.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/12/2004 01:57:08 AM
could be a picture postcard or a painting - lovely!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/12/2004 01:11:42 AM
Nice colors (but I don't like the black frames around the photo) < 6 >
08/12/2004 12:07:03 AM
slightly on the small side and the frame isnt necessary imo. since the image is so beautiful and the colors so rich and vibrant im still giving you a 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I really like this shot, but the hugely thick border takes away from it and makes the actual image i get to see much smaller. although i do like pictures with a white matte in a black frame. =]

Excessive framing distracts from the snap
08/11/2004 01:56:55 PM
Lose the border and you got a good shot. That is one humdinger of a border :)
08/11/2004 01:43:29 PM
Too much border! It's a photo contest so I'd like to see more photo. Thanks
Beautiful sunset by the way!

There is a bit much border on this for my liking. This looses a lot of impact having the photo so small.. The caption works really well though, and pulls me in to look at the person in red. Great light as well... Well caught.

08/11/2004 12:33:05 PM
a little small, would like to see it bigger to give me chance to see the detail
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Your image is absolutely superb. It has a very painterly feel, great soft colors. Composition is super well done as well. The lady in the red coat is perfectly placed (I think center is just fine, since the horizon of the sky is at your 1/3 point.) It is hard to believe that the artist who created this image also mounted it in the terribly overbearing frame/border.
08/11/2004 08:51:04 AM
lovely scene, I bet you get flamed for the frame though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/11/2004 07:52:21 AM
Lovely photo--the colors are gorgeous. Unfortunately, I think, your frame is too dominant and takes up valuable pixel real estate that could be used by the picture itself.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/11/2004 03:23:47 AM
i think the outer frame is too much, would like to see it with just the inner frame (and thus a larger pic)
08/11/2004 12:25:55 AM
Nice image. I suggest losing the border next time. Too distracting in this instance.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/11/2004 12:17:49 AM
Someone like their frames big.
08/11/2004 12:02:46 AM
I really hate doing this but I have to mark an otherwise excellent shot down a little for the ugly border.

Per pixel, it must take up more room that the photograph which is way to big. As a frame it woudl work hangin on your wall - but as a picture to critique you need to see more photo and less photoshop.
08/10/2004 10:36:51 PM
This is a beautiful photo, and yes, I believe it fits the challenge very nicely. However, I think most people are going to decimate you for two reasons: 1)It isn't an obvious, smack you in the face 'vanishing point' 2)the border is a bit strong. I believe in nice wide borders, and the so on, but yours just has a bit too much going on, I think if you cut the outside black it would be very nice. Also, your photo has a lot of detail in it that isn't visible because you chose to upload such a small image, another reason people will choose to makr you down. As for me, all that stuff is secondary to the fact that this is an excellent image, that makes a logical use of vanishing point in a strong image. 10

Too heavy on the frame, you not need it
08/10/2004 09:23:02 PM
Man! Why the border?! This image looks phenomenal but it's too small to even see it. Make the photo as large as you can and just use a small border. This would be a great way to frame a real print though. :) I'm still gonna give you a 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/10/2004 08:56:24 PM
What beauty. Next time, size larger so you don't get struck down in voting here. It won't affect my score, but I think you may see an effect from others perhaps.

Beautiful photo, but I think the border is way too much. (8)
08/10/2004 08:38:37 PM
Beautiful picture I think the borders works very well with this one :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/10/2004 08:28:08 PM
why? why? why all those frames in such a beautiful picture? do you really think they enhance your photograph? Anyway it is a very nice sunset shot...
