Welcome to the forum. You have a great shot, well taken, focused and exposed. I just don't care for the border, it detracts from your excellent capture IMHO.

Sometimes, I like to spruce up the pictures, but most of the time
it should not be done...........the old saying is - "Think Long .. Think Wrong"

Anyhow, I am posting the picture without the extras......

Again, Thanks for your input.........:lol:

Great shot. The border did not do a lot for me either. The plain white looks a lot better.

Great Shot, lovely colour and detail:) I have to agree it does look better without the border.

I don't think you had any not so good feedback, its a brilliant shot:)

I have to be honest i like messing around with borders from time to time (they never seem to look right) and when I first read the post, the border worked for me but when you posted it without the border it looked so much better. The subject stands out so much more:)

Well captured.

Great first post KP! Seems you had to deal with harsh light, but you've controlled it very nicely. Can't wait to see other fine examples from you...

Oh, and welcome to the forum.
