At the Strecker Nelson by mcsiegle

At the Strecker Nelson

A piece of art in the window of the Strecker Nelson Gallery on Poyntz Ave here in Manhattan. The sky reflected in the window. Other photos of the same sculpture here:

I'd appreciate some feedback on two things. One is the border. I went back and forth on whether to post the photo without border, with only the white border, or this with a double border.

The other is the exposure. My usual tendency is to take down the exposure (post processing) on lots of my shots -- and I did that to varying degrees on the other two shots of this piece of art. But with this one of the larger view, I found myself actually lightening it up.
I like the image - you've come up with an unusual idea and made it work. I never do borders so my opinion is unlikely to help but FWIW, I would drop the grey outer border as I think it makes the image a bit fussy. I quite like the exposure but I would have been tempted to up the contrast a bit. Obviously all this is subjective but I hope you find it helpful Mary.
