Beautiful lightning and beautiful work, I myself would prefer to have the flower a bit higher on the canvas. Great work.

I have no opinion one way or the other about borders: as you might see, I border all my own presentations here. This one, however, contrasting so very strongly with the image, is not to be ignored, and I can't see that it complements rather than fighting with this shot - especially using a colour selected out of the image itself, which serves in my mind only to strengthen the connection between the image and the border, and this to re-emphasise the border itself. In many ways it serves, to my eye, only to relgeate those flowers to a secondary subject of the presentation: the thing that one's eye is constantly pulled to is ... well, you know where I'm going.

this is really pretty, I like the border as it matches the tones of the leaves and works well. Nice shot...10

In this picture, I think the thick border really distracts from the subject.

Nice photo, good detail, but for this challenge I would loose the frame.

I'm not so keen on the positioning of the flower, I'd try alligning it in the bottom right 1/3 section of the photo
