but having said that does have a quality summery look

Watcha Diana,
well taken image, and a nice frame imge; however, I don't think they're doing anything for each other, although it is an interesting juxtaposition, possibly work beter in B&W, or, the nature of the frame is tintype, stress the colour pic inside it.

Hello Diane.
Such a lovely picture it is, but imo, what a shame of the frame.
You got a lot of comments on it, didn't read them, but this is worth to redo without that frame.
None the less, complements for this picture itself.

sorry but have to throw a spanner in the works ,the shot it,s self is great the lighting spot on but my problem is her legs being crossed like this makes them look heavy and thick not very pleasing they look large than they are
