    Can you please make your note borders larger and not cover the actual face on the photo????

    FDR was a disaster we're still paying for.

    Agree with peachhead.

    Why don't you just leave comments in line? Those are really good comments.

    (Usually the note is best in demo something that hide in the image and the note can high light to explain the detail and help other people to see the details more clearly.)
