Hopefully it's not the first thing they comment on?

If someone looks at one of my photograph and the first comment they make is
that the paper is lovely I know I have failed miserably!

If the content hasn't grabbed them first (either gently, so they barely
notice, or by the scruff of the neck) then I know that however wonderful the
printing, however much time I've put into it, what I have is a sows ear I
think is a silk purse....
