@Marie LC: Thanks, Marie. I'm not usually a fan of frames either. I did this one as a tutorial some time ago because I wanted to learn how.

Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada

Well done, Barbara! Much like Marie LC, I am not a frame fan; but in this instance I think it sets the subject up to it's best advantage. Bravo! ;-)

Wonderful photograph and I like the processing and frame you added!! Great work and wonderful color tones - this better be on your wall!

@Scott Schilling: Wow, thanks a lot!! I'm glad you like it. After I saw it with the "virtual frame" I did think about actually having it framed. Maybe I'll have to do that. ;-)) Happy 4th tomorrow!
