I agree with with the suggestions for a smaller border. Here is one version and I guess it looks better:


The title is borrowed from a poem by Emily Dickinson:

This is the land the sunset washes,
These are the banks of the Yellow Sea;
Where it rose, or whither it rushes,
These are the western mystery!

Night after night her purple traffic
Strews the landing with opal bales;
Merchantmen poise upon horizons,
Dip, and vanish with fairy sails.

Beautiful composition. I find the large frame sort of distracting for a challenge. It does show how great it would look framed on a wall though.

The large border and small inner image suggests a sense of 'art' be considered in this image - like a gallery presentation; but I don't get it. I don't see anything I haven't shot and rejected a thousand times myself. It has a certain mood, I suppose. A feeling of late winter, perhaps. I'm struggling to find anything to say about it.
