You know me I like presentation and a frame presents. I would adjust the top and bottom of the frame a bit. I think its too thick in comparison to the sides. Are you getting the feeling I am picking on you and just trying to make you do more work? Well I'm not...I think you do nice work sincerely.

i might just have to track you down and give you a knuckle sandwich
you may hate my photography but to pick on my frames!!! that is unforgivable...unforgivable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you think it's too think for this photo only? or in general because i've been using this type of frame for a while(because it reminds me of polaroids...ah the good old days...new polaroids don't have the white framing anymore and that makes me sad).
do you like the one without the frame better?

No I'm a fan of frames. They complete the package. But I think the mojority of people on deva don't like them. I think its ego motivated. If you use a frame the picture is smaller, even at full view. So the frame haters wnat their pictures to size of a movie screen. I like the od to polaroids. Burt if you remember they were equal on three sides ...with just the bottom being thicker...perhaps so people could write captions there.

i know, it's my modern version of polaroid framing.
now back to the frame, so you want all 4 sided to be the same width? i've been using this type of framing through out my more recent posts. so you don't like this framing on this photo or in general? i'm curios to find out what you think.

No on this image only...I think on the others they look fine...but more importantly is how you feel about them. Because whatever I do on DevA with my images pleases me first and foremost...if others like them fine, if not at least I know one person who does...me.

i like to hear opinions but in the end what i follow is up to me.
to be honest my husband has been on my case with the border too on this particular image. he liked the perfect square too but i was leaning the other way. now there is 2 against 1
i'm fairly new to this. when i look at your photos i wish to be able to be at that point someday so i have to listen to your advice and at least try it out even if in the end i might not go with it.

Hey no one is perfect and least of all me. And I appreciate your comments and would accept any critique you want to give my work as well. This is how we grow artistically.

that shows got some of the most quotable quotes in recent history. zoidberg and farnsworth, too. theyre pure genius.

zoidberg has me on the floor laughing to tears or pants change. i also love the irony of his name, it sounds so jewish yet he is a crustacean.

hes got quite an appetite on him, the fact that he isnt kosher is probably the only thing keeping him from devouring himself.

i cant even think of what my favourite thing about him is. everything from his warbling screams to his self-loathing. man, hes perfect. but farnsworth saying, "good news, everybody! i have terrible news!" will go down in history among the best quotations ever.

hahaha...totally agree on that! i can totally picture him chewing on his own claw.
ahhhhh...farnsworth. he is not one of the main characters but the show would not be the same without him. that is another priceless quotes. i'm so excited that futurama is coming back soon with new episodes. it's like the second coming.
