For a beginner, very good, I like the image. I agree that the frame is a bit too heavy but even so, da iawn.

Hi Maureen .. going to agree that it is a lovely comp. and nicely done. .but .. I also think a little too wide of a frame .. it's fun to try .. all different widths of framing .. and different colours ...
Cheers
Else

Thank you for looking Gwladys and Else. Glad you like it. I tried different borders in different sizes and colours and am not 100% certain about the one I chose

Hiya Maureen....a stunning shot with brilliant DOF. I agree about the frame being heavy and I think that this shot is good enough to go without a frame at all...or perhaps just a thin white border ? Just my thoughts and HO...LOL

Hello Maureen,
I do like this, this is a great shot, love the colour and composition.
Agree with the comments about the border.
Have you tried vignetting, instead of the border?

All the best
Paul

Hi Di, Thank you for your kind comment so glad you like it. I'm still debating the border issue may try your idea
