Hello Nancie! I tried the same experiment a while back myself, and I had to agree with the overwhelming opinion that the preferred version was without the framing, this one is beautiful!

I love this! Excellent shot! I just labored for 20 minutes over a sunflower that has sprung from under the bird feeder and now I realize how outclassed those shots will be!

Beautiful, Summertime feel.
