 The star on top of my Christmas tree shot from a low angle. I hope this border is ok? It's just a layer of gold surrounded by a layer of black. The background is my ceiling and was already very dark from the settings, I finished it off with the baddreams filter from Xero.

Kelli, it's clean, neat, & presentable......it doesn't grab me, though. I like the border, but maybe with a square crop not so tight at the top.

This border is just destroying the image, sorry. I'm probably the twnetieth to say so...

imho, the border kind of over powers a really cool image.

Christmas tree star? It's a bit dark but interesting star.

Nice but could have done with a touch more detail, perhaps a very light fill flash to bring out a little more detail in the decoration.

nice shot, maybe a bit too grainy though... and the border seems a bit too heavy.

Simple and elegant. The border really compliments this shot and dresses it up beautifully.

Nice shot. For me, I would've like to have either seen a bit more of the background or have pushed up the black point to obliterate it completely. The fact that is is just visible but nly in places is a bit distracting to the eye. 6.

The focus of should be what's inside the border and not the border itself. This border is really distracting for me.

I'm a big fan of symmetry. Love the shades of gold and brown.

lovely low key - the richness of the colors really warms me up

and i really like the cool border here (but I am sure you are taking hits from the 'i hate borders' crowd
