Howdy,

first up,the boarder ( irony! ). I know it's a matter of taste but i think it is rarely a good idea to have more boarder than image.

With regard to the 3 images themselves, they are all variations of the same image, a blue sky with a coloured kite against them. I think it would be a lot stronger if you have more variation between the subjects.

Hi,

I'm going to just drop a few comments in here if you don't mind.

1) with regards to the triptych set up.

I am with Dragan in terms of the border being just too broad for this image. The other issue is that the border is also fading into my browser skin for boards.ie

Because you have such a huge border, and because the kites are comparatively small to the image, they are getting lost in both the triptych and sky frames.

2) the kites

I think they are a little lost in the image as they are too small against the sky and the angle at which you caught them means that you don't get the full size or shape of the kite.

I like the idea of this; I just don't think this execution of it works as well as it could have done.

The border is recockulously large relative to the images, I'm not sure if that was a stylistic choice but the jpegs you've posted aren't exactly huge and the individual images occupy so little area of them you're effectively asking us to review thumbnails.

The leftmost thumbnail is nice, though.

I wondered about this recently as it seems to be an 'in thing' or 'right of passage' at the moment - to put mad large borders on images (particularly framed images) - i mean like 4"x4" print in a 20"X30" frame :eek: It certainly is different but i'm not sure it works always. I've seen a lot of them recently for sale at various outlets.

In terms of the images themselves i just think that the subject is a little lost in them. Perhaps include one of them (from far away) to give a perspective on camera to kite, but as a reviewer i'd be looking to get in and see some detail in the surfer or their kite at a close up level.

I think if you had your heart set on the larger borders that if you had close up's of the kite surfer then you might get away with it but as they are now - at least to me (not that that's anything :rolleyes: ), the images are quite lost in the expanse.

Hope that helps.
