Congrats on your yellow ribbon! Without this frame type I guess I would be saying "congrats on your blue ribbon".

The original image is just outstanding and I would most certainly have rated the highest in this challenge. It's not bad this way, but it's better the other way imho.

The frame work is outstanding. It would not have been the same for me, without it. Not only is the picture amazing in its colours and tone, but the framing gives it a very nostalgic effect, very close to Japanese art, where they often use the same framing effect.

One thing i tried here, was to change the stroke's colour to a golden/orange instead of the gray. Found it gave the artwork a little more punch. 9 on me mate.

Originally posted by TooCool: I'm confused by this though, what is the difference between a photoshopped triptych and the shot that got dq'ed from the window challenge that had a photoshopped window frame? You didn't after all shoot a true triptych and this is a photography site, not a photoshop site...

Perhaps because this challenge does not specifically call for the picture be taken through a window and showing a frame?

Great job Brad! This was one of those thumbnails that jumped out at me as a winner.

I did not see/vote/comment on this shot during challenge due to time contsraints (I was the one that petitioned for a longer voting period due to number of entries). I'm confused by this though, what is the difference between a photoshopped triptych and the shot that got dq'ed from the window challenge that had a photoshopped window frame? You didn't after all shoot a true triptych and this is a photography site, not a photoshop site...

Edited to fix a typo and add: This came off kinda confrontational and it wasn't meant that way... Love the shot. Just not sure it fits the rules!
TC again.

Excellent Brad...I have seen it without the Triptych effect and it isn't as powerful as this. Good decision to go along with the suggestion. GREAT photo by itself.
