I had to enlarge the image until I could see the bird clearly.

Good seeing.

Thanks Eric.
You're right. The image in the full screen mode in LR is one thing the smaller image surrounded by bright white is not quite right.
I tried with the black frame. I wouldn't know better for publishing here :(
Any ideas?

I agree.
Maybe a smaller black frame around the white border would work.
I think if you made the image brighter, it would destroy the sense of mystery.
I like it a lot.

Yes, the image must be dark, that was the idea of "mistery"

Let's give the thinner frame a try. What do you think?

I like it. Mystery is retained, but I can see into the image better.

Actually the thinner one is one of my "standard frames".
I tried the thicker one to bring out the dark picture but I agree that the thinner is better. :)

Hmmm... Too much white :-)
Thanks anyway
