I like it because of the power lines. It gives it a subject. But I agree that it be nice to have less Environmental impact or none at all from industry.

Lovely images by the way. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Gary–this is definitely a worthwhile project, and I know I can agree with your sentiments about power lines…

It rains a lot and that's why we have such a lush rain forest. It's been gorgeous here all week but last week was dull and grey. It's a typical spring. I hope that you give BC another chance because it is very picturesque. Skip Whistler though and try the islands... As for the powerlines, that's what Photoshop is for.

]]> Comment on Photo Borders; a non-political border war by Brian W. Downs http://www.enlightphoto.com/views/2013/04/25/photo-borders.htm/comment-page-1#comment-30819 Brian W. Downs Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:33:10 +0000 http://www.enlightphoto.com/views/?p=2528#comment-30819 Gary, Personal preference leads me to liking the white border more. Can't explain why, but it just appears cleaner and more traditional. Maybe it is because I'm used to seeing white matting around hanging photos. That said, I would still suggest darkening the text to emphasize your information. Also, shifting the web address to underneath the title and compressing the bottom frame would maximize the size of the actual image within the image. Keeping some watermark on the actual image is of course a good idea since even MS Paint has a crop tool. Kevin Childress (https://plus.google.com/u/0/114119807582553446405/posts) uses a similar frame to the one described but doesn't have a logo or title. -Brian- Gary,

As stated above those complaining about it are probably the ones up to no good. Although the black border with the picture above does look real nice.
