Here is an image for my "Seasonal Pond Selfie project." This one is "Late Summer Selfie."

That is a very good idea, but why the black frame?
Every time I see "selfie" on the screen in a small font size, I think I am seeing "selfish".
Freud strikes again!

Bill,
This is a picture very much worth looking at, but IMHO, deserves reconsidering its presentation. The bars are indeed distracting, although adding some structure to the foreground like that is a good idea, but like the lines of a window with 4 or 8 panes, not this which looks like nothing. But we can still see the picture underneath. There are bright leaves in a lyrically random pattern, then in the center a large dominant shadow of a person.
..............it's intriguing, as we don't know for sure but think its friendly. I like it a lot but not the finishing for presentation.
So to me this is a challenge. The picture is too good to leave behind the current "border".
Rather with a form of a window, then one is actually looking at something real and very interesting.

Asher,
Thanks for your comments, and I appreciate your ability to see beyond the border. As I mentioned to Jerome, if I use this with the others I have (and I think I will) I will certainly be following the format of the others and remove the “border”.
Jerome can see beyond the border and can even tell why the border is necessary in that particular picture. But Jerome would rather suggest that you take the same picture once more to find out yourself.
Bill,

I appreciate so much you following up with this picture of yours. I do like the use of the window frame here. It works so well. Window provide our link to the outside world, tells us the time of day and makes women next to it simply divine! What gave the salmon and bluebottle fly green colors?
The question of frames in this picture is itself a separate subject. This will be discussed further here as it illustrates the challenges in presenting photographs.

Thanks for your comment, the color had to do with the reflections from very cold windy weather with dark threatening clouds, and cardboard boxes as well as green plastic flower pots. The frost on the glass added a softness to some of the reflections.
Best, Bill
