Hi Luis, Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to comment. About the border... well, I scanned the shot and that's how it came up, I liked the results and submitted it as you have seen. There is no attempt of connoting it in a way or another. I usually print my B&W shots full frame, leaving a little black border (more little than the one on the actual shot) just to let understand that I used the entire frame, but it's more a aesthetic matter than a philosophical one...
