I personally don't think the border does anything to enhance the picture.
Plus the sky looks over exposed.
A nice idea though.
Maybe would have looked a lot nicer at sunset or sunrise.

The main image is okay but a little bland. However, the border is really too much. 3

I think the red border distracts attention away from the image. If you really wanted red, maybe you could have sampled the red in the ribbons & used that red. Good work.

The photo is nice enough. The border, however, is another story. A border should not overpower the subject of the photo - this one does.

Whoa... turn down the border! Seriously, it really takes away from the shot...

perfectly symmetrical and aligned.. no small feat! good job!

i've always been taught that in photography, your eye is drawn immediately to either a) the area of greatest dark/light contrast, or b) the most dramatic color. In this case, unfortunately, that's your border. A border should add to the picture subtly, not distract from it dramatically. I would suggest next time using a tiny red border and a think black or white border instead.

All too common a problem as we exhaust the world's supply of quality oaks.

haha - i just saw another broken cork in the challenge not long ago and commented "i hate when that happens". anyways, i DO hate when that happens - but, interesting image and angle. perhaps a slightly cleaner/less dusty opener would've helped here, but it's still a strong image.
