Very strong. And the red borders especially change the way we perceive the images (the colors) when we first see them as thumbnails which is a critical point in our experience of them. This is graphically shown by when you click on the thumbnail and the picture comes up big with the thin white border instead of red. The colors appear much more muted becuase there is no red border to such the reds forward. My adviser in school who came out of the Bauhaus movement in Chicago would be all over someone on this, Mitch. He would not let us even sign our work unless we knew it was just as a part of the image as the silver. Which meant don't sign it. I think they've got a point but I do sign my work now. But i do agree I've altered the work by doing so. http://www.rabinergroup.com/ImagePages/CouponWall630.html (Example of one of my images with the signature left on.
