It depends on 3 things:
The Photo
The Border
The Person's Taste
So there is no answer really :)

konador
I sometimes prefer art work without borders, less contrived,
looser, not always.
I have just clicked on your website {konador] and cant believe it,
I'm totally obsessed with sheep, have been using henry moore;s images
and think i may have used one of yours.
my art is here, if youre interested

go to image>canvas size and increase it 105% in all directions. this gives you space for a border. since that is all i can remember, try going here, where i read it and there are other border ideas too.tutorial
*edit to fix link

In Elements, I usually frame like this; select the entire image, go to Edit > Stroke, select white (typically) and surround the image with about 5 pixels of white. Then, go to image>resize>canvas and expand the height and width by something like .2 inch. If your background color is black, you will now have a black frame around the thin white line. Of course, you can select any colors which are most appropriate for your image, but it's hard to go wrong with black and white.

| The more intricate the border/frame the more it takes away from the picture itself. |

Thank you Ben, I used to paint every day on canvas now I spend too
much time on photoshop, rank begginer with digital art but have been
selling, cant figure.
I agree with faidoi about the intricate border distracting art.

That's what I would have said.
I must add though, that when I'm done a picture, it's very clear to me whether it needs a border or not. For example: This one,
 evidently needs one because the subject is undefined.

I dont really mind, but then I'm an easygoing person really, but it would be nice to get some photo-credit on the website and a link to my prints site so people know the photo is mine :) I stongly suggest in the future that you ask people's permission first, as some people would be very mad about you using a variation of their photo and selling it for a lot of money. They could even take legal action I expect. I'm fine with it if I get credit but lot's of people wouldn't be... just a small word of warning.
Nice pic by the way :)

I am not so sure how easy going I would be when that is being sold for $456, and the base image for it is $25 for your print, Ben. Can you say COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

Ben (Konador) might be easy going but I am surprised that you think it's OK to steal someone's work and then incorporate such substantial amounts of it in your own work which is for sale.
I have to say that if I were Ben I would NOT be so understanding.

Good for you, Lesley, I think it's the right thing to do until you contact Ben and discuss copright/ purchasing rights etc.
Best of luck...

Yes. Here, here. May save you large headaches later.
By the way I have a general copyright statement (can't remember where I found it) Here, that gives the basics of copyrights.
