I miss color
For me this is a very nice image as I love BnW But I must tell you that those borders really really spoil the image Brian
+1 to Binnur's comment.
While I love framed photos, when showing them here for critique purposes, the frame really can get in the way. In this case the frame totally overwhelms the image.
When I look at this shot I see (and it may well be simply be how my eyes and mind work) an added depth to the shot with the frame. As if i am looking through a window.
As for the frame getting in the way of the critique... To me the frame is no more an unneeded add on than sharpening or white and black point adjustment. Sometimes i think it works sometimes i don't add one.
Brian love your B&W rose, agree with the frame. A simple white border would be better. That is only my opinion.
Cheers Ole
