I like the frame. Poppies are beautiful anyway.

I guess we all have different oppinions. No offence to saimamirza. I like the color of the frame but I think there is a little too much. It kinda distracts my veiw from the beautiful flowers. The shot has great potential. Great angle. Hope my comment has been helpful.

Never get discouraged.

Interesting post-photo treatment. I am going to try it myself with some of my pics...but I think I might try reducing the width of the "frame" a bit. I like your idea of "muting" part of the picture as the entire meadow of those poppies might be overwhelming. Your other idea of having the entire background/"frame" change yellow intensity is interesting, but might be what is distracting. Did you evaluate the background pic to see if it could stand alone?

~ Wonderful shot and I love your creative framing!...My only suggestion is the same as some said...just a bit less width. Great idea & thanks so much for sharing!
