Hi all,

I think this topic could be already discussed in the past. Don't you think it should be better to use a black background? A lot of people uses black frames, I think there is a reason for this...the photo looks with a better constrast with black background. What do you think about that?

I agree also ! black or dark grey would be great ! the blue is a little childish,and makes the site look too much like a cartoon site. A darker approach might make our presentation look a little more professional!

I Agree.

I also agree that black looks great but as frame only. In background sometimes black overshadowed the object.

This is true, I use also black and white pictures
