My hometown--historic park in the center of town, I know this isn't by any means going to be the best picture, but on this foggy Christmastime shopping day, it made me smile and remember when I was a child. To everyone at DPC Merry Christmas!
My first attempt at cloning (took out the garbage cans) and adding a boarder, which for most is simple but for me it was a big dang deal to learn something new in Photoshop (I know it's too big and bright but I'm working on it) ;)
After Challenge Comments: For those of you who were a little on the scrooge side of making comments about my boarder...YESSSSSS I know it's big, but Merry Christmas to you anyway, and hey try and give some constructive holiday critique next year (as some did-thank you-especially the resampling color for a boarder)...and try and lighten up a bit....it's just a boarder dang!

meets the challenge well but I think this would have done better if the red of the frame was a closer match to the red of the bows, and maybe not quite as wide
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.
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.
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.
