Nice idea. Perhaps a different background instead of the glaring white.
This would then enhance the definition of the flowers.

The color of the frame is a little distracting. Maybe it is my monitor, but the cherry blossoms look a little flat. With the white background my eye wants to see a little more contrast in the subject. 7

pretty flower and i think that the border really adds to the picture

One of the few borders in this challenge that really enhances the shot. Nice choice. There's good detail on the subject, but I would be curious to see how it would come out on an ivory background as opposed to stark white. The only thing with the whiite is that it can be hard to look at, though I think that it works better with this shot than with others.

I don't think the white background has done you any favours at all. Beautifully shot though

Beautiful lightning and beautiful work, I myself would prefer to have the flower a bit higher on the canvas. Great work.

I have no opinion one way or the other about borders: as you might see, I border all my own presentations here. This one, however, contrasting so very strongly with the image, is not to be ignored, and I can't see that it complements rather than fighting with this shot - especially using a colour selected out of the image itself, which serves in my mind only to strengthen the connection between the image and the border, and this to re-emphasise the border itself. In many ways it serves, to my eye, only to relgeate those flowers to a secondary subject of the presentation: the thing that one's eye is constantly pulled to is ... well, you know where I'm going.

this is really pretty, I like the border as it matches the tones of the leaves and works well. Nice shot...10

In this picture, I think the thick border really distracts from the subject.

Nice photo, good detail, but for this challenge I would loose the frame.

I'm not so keen on the positioning of the flower, I'd try alligning it in the bottom right 1/3 section of the photo

Lovely detail on the flowers.

Very nice. Good choice of background.

This is really beautiful. I love the copper color tones you used in your border to accent and compliment your cherry blossom. It's a great minimalist picture. 10

Other than the frame? Artistic value is very good. Your subject is clear and lighting looks good.

wonderful photo, nice colors, great DOF... bad choice of border. Sorry, but I had to drop you a point for that.

Lose the border and it would be a 10 Nicely done, but in this case, the border is distracting. 9
