Initial thoughts Wow is that bright, meets the challenge, way too much border
Composition/ Content I believe that you achieved your primary goal of showing how ridiculous borders can be. The four felt pieces work well here as squares although I think it may have felt more balanced if the red and yellow squares were reversed. Lighting seems even and well balanced, perfect for this shot.
Background The background is non-descript and just about right. The only thing that may have worked even better would be if you matched it to the same gray color as the DPC background, that would have been really freaky!
Camera Work - Technical Focus seems just a bit soft and with so little of your shot actually being a photo, I think this is a major downfall.
Digital Processing - Technical You certainly strained the limits of the border rule. I see that you recieved three 10's so some folks liked it but I found it overpowering. Good job of matching though.
Fits The Challenge Oh yeah, it fit the challenge alright.
My Opinion On The Photo Not my style for sure, but then I lived through the 60's when these colors were more common place. Good take on the challenge though and using everything available to you this week.
I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

I started this, but it got to be a bit too much, as has this one. Right on for the challenge, nice combination of colors, clean and clear focus. Technically good photo. Mercy but it gets to my eyes. Still it's a good photo and well done.
They are mad alright. That lightest green/yellow strip really begs for attention. I am interesting in knowing why you choose two shades of green. I think if the bottom one had been more yellow it would have been better. The frames pull you into the picture I think.
