Barbara Miller	You did well on your border, echoing the colours in the image. It's a lovely image, that which is sharp is the the FG and the BG has that slight OOF that emphasizes the centre. Well done!
Milan Sedio	This has a bright yellow color. I like the composition and the camera angle you selected. Ithink the shadows are strong and the flower needs a softer lighting. I follow a simple process to make a border. I measure the image size and then go to the canvas size and add to the canvas the border width that you want and position the image in the canvas. Now you must select a border color (canvas extension color) and then accept the change. For a double color border, I just run through the sequence again. If you don’t like the color or size, edit the canvas change and redo. Others in the Group may have an easier process.

T W Woodruff	The frame really sets the image off and gives is depth. The image appears very sharp. I would like to see the original.
Nick Muskovac	I guess film will be around for another 10 years!!! This flower picture has a lot of contrast and shadows. You can get borders by using Edit Stroke. Use Control A to select the entire picture. Then select your stroke color. next stroke with 10-12 pixels for the white border. next pick your yellow. Next use control A to select the entire image. next use Edit Stroke with about 2 pixels for the outer yellow border. I hope this helps you.
Minnie Travis	Beautiful photo of the columbine. I especially like the shadow of the stamens. The white in the border startles. To me off white would be better. Also leave a little more room on the left as the border almost touches the flower.

Member Bio

John Yurchak - Biography I started in photography in 1957 with 3 very dear friends that gave me much encouragement to start. They were Richard Biddle who is now deceased, Paul Maloney who was the sports photographer and writer for the Greeley Tribune newspaper, and Ken Hikida who own Kens Camera in Greeley without their help I would not have stayed in photography. I joined PSA in 1973 and I have being doing B/W photography in my own darkroom and as well as all kind of slide work, but the main interested I started with was Nature photography in which I entered many Salons to earn 2 Stars as a nature Exhibitor. Now I am still doing darkroom work in PSA Pictorial Study Group in B/W as well as a Nature Slide Study Group and I belong High Country Camera Club in Colorado. I do make prints with the computer for this camera club and do slide work as well in all types, Glassware, Black Light, Close up, Nature and use of Litho with color slides. I still use film for my digital work using a Canon EOS 10s and Canon Elan 7e for all my work. I use either Provia 100 or Sensia 100 Slide film or TRI X for my B/W work. I then scan the film with my Minolta Dimage Scan Dual Slide film at 2438 dpi and then export to Photoshop 7 for all my manipulations for my prints, I use the Epson 1280 printer for my prints for my camera club usually 11 X 17 prints. I usually do not go to the 13 X 19 that are available for the 1280 printer. I am just a beginner for any manipulations of the image and just do mostly straight prints or some modification to the print. I will need all the help that this group can give me.
