    I was going thru some older folders and found this one that I've always liked. Basically just a B/W conversion with sepia toning, and an OnOne Photo Frame border.

    Lovely conversion, Diane. I like the subtle vignette and border.

    I like the old world feel, and the shadows of the leaves, and hints of the plants. I am not usually a fan of a lighter border but I do like this one, although I might go a little darker. I love that little cherub too.

    Very nice. The processing is consistent with the content of the image. And, you did it very nicely.

    This is so good. The composition is right on, you framed it very nicely when you shot and/or cropped it, and the sepia toning fits the image very well. Until very recently, my feeling about light borders was much like Jackie's, but that's rapidly changing, and I really like what you did, here. It's funny, I used a Photo Frame border -- a light one, at that -- for the first time in a long time just a couple days ago.

    Thanks, everyone! What I really like are the vines on the wall -- wish the tree trunks on the right hadn't been there, but no way to get around them.

    I like the vines, too. And the tree trunks, maybe for a couple reasons. The curve of the one on the right goes nicely with the curve of the arch, and the trees act as a visual stop, keeping the eyes in the image as they get to the right side. I think they're a plus.
