| One thing I learned about borders is to leave them off for display online, but it is a good & useful skill when preparing for print on a notecard. My flowers look 'matted & framed' if I create a border before they are printed on notecards. I can use the border to create a feeling of a 'set' of notecards, which I like. But a pre-printed border can restrict your options if you should want to mat & frame it later. I like the style of your border, it doesn't look intrusive to me here. This comp is full of sunlight & fresh air, which I like. It'd be fun to try different camera angles. Do they stay open all day & close up at night? They look very pretty, like they would smell good.

things i really like - the warm rich and real colors, the softness and painted feel of the background in the lower section
things i would think about - how can i attack the image from an angle perspective to emphasize the beauty - choose those borders carefully - it seems to interupt the image especially on the left |

| Add me to the list who would prefer it borderless. Nice bokeh. |

| Unique perspective. The border though imo doesn't add much here. |

| Lovely flower, but the border detracts from the image. |

| A pretty flower. I am not thrilled with the border. I'd also change the composition a bit. You've got this great flower on a stem, try shooting it more on a diagonal and don't center the flower as much. You'll find that more pleasing. |

| for self-described uncreative start, you've done pretty darn well. Good bokeh and nice framing to set off this nice, colorful vine. |

I also like the composition and the flower is so sweet.
I am not that fussed with the inside border, as it makes me want to visually look at the border, rather than the image inside the border. I also like the soft DOF background.
Thanks you for sharing this floral image with us.
Our journey has just begun.

| Like the flower. . . but in all honesty the boarder takes my eye to it rather than the flower. |
