Love the photo. Usually I love your framing, but on this pic I think its a bit much for the photo...maybe even takes away, but I DO THINK another frame would be nice...I think I will have to get photoshop soon...I love the colours of these clouds..I think the little "sun" at the top left of yoru frame..takes away from the cloud colours. a bit..but I do think a more simple but elegant frame would be LOVELY...
You know, you do some pretty amazing work when you collaborate with yourself too! ;) This is one heck of a photo and the framework suits it beautifully.
Great job enhancing a strong photo with the frame. Both are wonderful "parts" but the whole is greater than either of them. I like how the colors in the frame pick up some of those in the clouds and also how you used only one "design" in the frame. It seems to echo the sun and sets of the entire composition very well.
Thank you René, Mike, and Glenn. Often when I do the border colors, I use the actual photo for the border, too. Stretched large to where I like the colors showing, blurred heavily with a gaussian blur, copied and overlayed to increase the intensity of color, and darkened quite a bit so as not to compete too much with the subject. It works well.
