What frame would you choose?

by Todd Smith on December 17, 2008

I mentioned more than a week ago, I would love for you to help me create on this blog. I’m still a newbie at framing and would like to hear your input.

The following image taken at Butchart Gardens last month has a few options for framing. I’m kind of leaning towards a black frame because it brings out the curve of the tree trunk in the image. The red frame makes the red leaves and the bridge stand out more, but the trunk is my favorite graphic.

What do you think of the gold trim on the second frame? I’m not sure, maybe distracting.

I also like the bamboo frame at the end. For me, I think it’s between the first frame and the last frame. And I’m leaning towards the simplicity of the first. What do you think?

Is there any frame idea that I didn’t show here? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
