Thanks for your comments. Actually, when I sell my work it is always matted and I cover the text in every case anyway. I can't see charging 375.00 for a 20x30 piece that looks like a poster.

Thanks a lot. Yeah, I think it looks pretty contemporary as well. I did a second image that's even better but I lost it I think.

Thanks for your comments. I do respect your opinion but need to ultimately need to rely on my years of experience working with type. The wide border was chosen for this piece to draw the viewer in. I chose, however, a subdued greytone for the border line and Copyright. I'm pleased with the overall result. I wanted a hi-tech but sophisticated look overall.

After a good 2nd look, I'll agree that the borders works good, i'm just no fan of thick borders that's all ! But i still say that the text fonts/coloring is too distracting.

The way i see it is that you have a relatively dark image, with a pole of brightness near the center, where you want viewer attention. But then you have another pole of brightness on the text, taking away some attention from the center-peice. A more subtle tone, possibly the same as your copyright notice would fit better IMO.

Make no mistake, i find this render very beautifull, but that text is nagging me!

Don't worry i take no offence in you defending your choice! because it's exactly that: Your choice, your art, your message, your wished effect on the viewer.

Please don't misunderstand, I really do appreciate and welcome advice of all kinds and I know that you are sincere in your comments. I think it's always a brave thing to make suggestions on others images. I do it occasionally too, and often it has to do with post work and not the image as you also have done. I sincerely thank you for being brave enough to make a constructive remark. It is equally difficult to respond in defense of a particular choice. My main point though is that I do want the viewer to be drawn to the text because it is added as a design element, a part of the whole. I start with solid color text and apply a brushed aluminum finish to the text. I wanted to match the silvery haze in the image (the Atmosphere).

It's always a risk to appear to to be rejecting a suggestion from a viewer but, in fact, I do sincerely appreciate your suggestion. Sometimes I wholeheartedly agree and sometimes I stubbernly "hold my ground". And by the way, I have others that have commented on the same point so you're not alone.

Thanks for your comments and for the feedback of the font. I really do take seriously all suggestions but in this case I am not convinced. I used a very "hi-tech" font called "Computer" and after living with it for a day I still like the choice. Sorry; but I honestly appreciate the feedback.

Your welcome...
Feedback is always good I believe...
But I also hear you in your feelings and decisions..
The font I love.. the bevel is what I didn't like...
But your art is wonderful... and is your creation... no matter how anyone else feels.. (=

Thanks a lot and for taking the time to comment. My concept on this piece was to create an art poster so I wanted the title to be an intrgral graphic element.
