I think perhaps it needs to be cropped square.

It is not sharp either at 1/100 sec at 200mm with closeup lens,
f/7
ISO 800 in the shade. But I guess sharpness isn't the point here.

I'm also not sure what sort of framing/matting treatment to use,
it
doesn't look good with the contemporary narrow black wood frame
and
white matt that I have used before.



Aaron Bros used to sell a "frame" made of two sheets of plexiglass or
other plastic. The kit included two clear plastic clamps (top and
bottom) and a cardboard backing, as well as a cord that connected the
clamps once the photo, backing, and clamps were assembled.

The sheets were photo-size at 8x10, 11x14, 16x20. Hung on the wall by
the top clamp, the "frame" pretty much disappeared, so as someone
else mentioned, the picture was its own border, the wall was the
frame. If my description is not sufficient, I'll unhang one of mine
and make a photo or two.
