That's great for hanging on a wall for display. It certainly beats thumbtacks in each of the corners. However, for posting on a site where there are size limitations due to monitor size or site restrictions, frames are eye candy the are of which would be better served by presenting the photograph. I'd rather see more photograph than some "fancy" frame, which serves only to distract from the work.

I believe the use of frames helps to bring you "into" the photo. Artists use it to create a 3D effect. In art museums, the frames plus the borders help bring you into the photo or painting-the same way the artist or photographer uses lines, form, shadow,shape,color,to give a feeling of depth to the painting or photo. Some of us do it by design-other folks do it without realizing it, other than:it looks better to them.
