Shakespeare's Sonnet... thoughts please

[motherlee]

A friend is completing her PhD in English specializing in Shakespeare. This is her favourite Sonnet with the focus on her favourite lines. I'm considering framing this as a graduation gift. I know the subject matter is unusually, but she is very passionate about Shakespeare!

Can anyone offer thoughts? Is there any pp that you would do to this to enhance it?

Thanks,

Leanne

I think this is a great idea for a gift! It's very thoughtful and I think that your friend will love it.
Is this a crop or is it the original? If it's a crop, do you mind posting the original please?

here is the original...

If you can, you might consider playing with tones to bring out more highlights. It's probably just personal preference, but it seems a little dark and yellow.

The shot itself is good though.

I brightened it up a bit. Is this any better?

I think that works better. It would be worth knocking back the red and yellow a little though.

Definately an improvement.

I think your idea of framing this as a graduation gift for a doctor in Shakespeare is creative, thoughtful, and an overall good idea.
