For some reason I can’t see your images I just see thetag.
I’ve tried disabling my broadband filters etc. but to no avail.
The army had a Remembrance Day event over the weekend, so the Wattisham museum provided the Phantom and Hunter as backdrops. The Hunter was one of the Black Arrows that set a record of 22 aircraft in a loop in 1958.
No problem here. 08.26 (French time)

This is really perplexing, it occurred to me to turn off WiFi on my iPhone and retry to see if my BT broadband is somehow blocking dropbox but I still get the same issue. I've tried my Windows laptop as well and get the same result. So it's not my broadband and it's not a iOS / OSX issue. I'm stumped.All fine here - Chrome on PC and iPad
Wattisham museum? I didn't know there was one. Is it open to the public, or in the army jursidiction?
The F4 looks very smart. The Black Arrows were based at North Weald, my place of work. The Hunter that so tragically crashed at Shoreham lived there, was always a joy to see.

Both taken almost exactly 2 years ago. I have spent quite a lot of time in these places during the last few years, but they still completely catch you out, especially at this time of year, and today. Very emotional today.
Amar, I see a lot of consistency in your work, there's a very strong lefty imprint. Go with the book.
I certainly wouldn't claim to be an expert - someone has probably written a book on the subject - I just 'know what I like'
Having said that, I think it depends on the image and how you see it/wish to present it. Some pictures need a frame and/or a mask, others don't. The Cezanne landscape print I played about with now looks perfect (to me anyway) in what I can only describe as a 'window-frame'.
I don't necessarily go along with McLuhan's famous epigram, but do think the mount and frame can either emphasize or de-emphasize the medium: looking through this thread, sometimes the photographic process is an intrinsic part of the desired result (c.f. Berger, Sontag, Dyer et al) - at other times the image is everything and should be framed more like a painting imo.
For me that particular picture is crowded, contending with a dark, heavy frame, whereas a larger mount and lighter coloured frame would be preferable by far. (Since large frames are expensive, I'd start by painting what you already have: you can go back to black if you don't like it.)
Most frames are neutral, which is obviously the safe option. If you can find it, the ideal combination really shows off the picture and repays the effort. I made the original comment because I thought your picture deserves better, but it's still only one opinion.
I can't see eternumvitis' images on my works computer (all other images are visible). I can however see everything on personal pcs, laptops & 'phones. My guess is the photo hosting site, which I assume is not flickr, possibly getting blocked by a firewall or similar
