Ginger, why do I keep having to tell you this? DON'T FRAME YOUR BEAUTIFUL SHOTS. All it does is distract from your great images. It adds nothing. Be confident of your shots. Let them sell themselves. This particular one will probably win this contest. Why turn it into a poster and add those redundant words and make the image smaller.

It's a great shot.

Good luck on the competition. I see you already posted.

When I looked at the shot with the frame, it drew my attention away from the beautiful photography -- I looked at the words, then paid attention to the large amount of white space. What I really wanted to savor was your excellent photo, Ginger. So, IMHO, no frame.

Your frame is quite beautiful -- but the shot is even more so. My two cents is no frame. Any time I can see more detail in a photo only enhances it.

Ginger,

I like both, framed and not framed - great shot!. As some people said, the frame draws attention to the frame first and then the photo. Maybe this could be remedied by using a smaller frame - just a thought.
