I really enjoy putting borders on the phototgraphs I have taken. The tutorials in the book are very useful and give great suggestions on what you can do to add a border and make the photograph more interesting. I realized that I like a double bordered look and am fond of black and white. The second photograph I decided to have the flower drape over the border so I used a mask to acheive that effect. On the last photograph I used a mask and the brush tool to get a painted effect. To do this, I changed the opacity levels to darken it in certain areas. This was way fun!
