I would like to have had poll but the forum doesn't have that feature. So this is my question...

To those that are obsessed with having borders around their photographs, do you get these printed with your photos?

I am intrigued by thise, because so often I see "the photo could be improved with a better border" or similar comments. I just don't understand it. I am of the opinion that people should really be looking at the photo and not the border but as I said so often it is the other way round. "You can make this photo better with a different border"

I really hope people get their photos mounted properly. But that is why I want a poll.
 
I missed this question, probably skipped it due to the topic name.

Personally I find that some sort of border helps when displaying a picture on a website to make it stand out and not clash with whatever colour scheme the website in question might have. At the moment I have been printing most of my photos borderless as this seems to work better 'in the flesh' as it were. Although, now that I come to think about it, I think people spend more time looking at a picture with a border.
 
I sometimes find that borders can be distracting as people have such different taste.
After saying that imo, a good picture can be enhanced by a border, but a great picture ... almost always doesnt need one.:)

Btw, if I click on 'thread Tools' I have the option of creating a poll, I dont know if this is due to be a Mod, or if all members can do the same.
