Hi Trevor,
sometimes if a border looks too strong I use the colour picker to select a colour from the photo itself.
Also I don't know how you did the border but there is a little bit poking out underneath it, probably the easiest way to do a border is to increase the canvas size, that way you don't have to mess about lining stuff up to fit, do it by pixels or measurements (i.e. not percentage) to get a uniform border.
