Need opinions on prints (border, title, signature...)

Hey guys, I wonder if I could have a few opinions? I'm printing some photos of the village I live in and the surrounding area to sell at a local show next week. Now, these will be placed in cheap frames for display purposes (cheap because I already have them and I can't afford anything else!) and I wanted to print them with a white border to show them off a little better. Below is what I have come up with. I like the font but is there anything you would change about it? Should the photo itself be higher in the frame so as to give more space at the bottom for the title? Should I keep my signature in the bottom right corner? I wasn't going to but my wife thinks I should have my name on there somewhere since I worked so hard taking them. :D Should I have the title in the centre or would it maybe be better aligned with the left or right edge of the photo? Aaaarrrggghh, too many choices!

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Anyone? I really could use some opinions here. How about this one?

I've done similar to your second one except I gave the shot a title and not used my name.

BTW - The snow is blue, shouldn't it be white? :-)

Yeah, I suppose snow should be white but because of the fading light it has taken on a blue cast. I actually kind of like it like that. :D

I like your first one with the sig; there is a member on potn that frames his photos very nicely. He puts a small black border than the large white one like you have and finally a small grey one around the white. You can see examples in the POTN members activities section under anything for chicago starting with page 7. I hope it helps you decide.

Have you tried it with a black border? For some reason the white doesn't appeal to me.

Depends on the frame too, if it were just on a board then this is fine.
