Thanks for the comments guy's, I have just started looking into how to compose pictures and ways to take the best shot then present it it ints best form. All with my new lumix tz7, hopefully a bridge to a more independent camera in the future.

A great photo you took... Can you tell which software you use for your frame?

Franky,
I used gimp and added border in three layers for full effect. Free program and easy tutorials readily available.
