Virtual Matte (Page 2): I like it. Maybe I'll do a black frame like this.

When I give it more time to look at, the more I like it and have decided to use a black frame. Not sure about the matte but it probably won't be as big as I had originally planned. Thank you.

Thank you in advanced for any input.

I like this one , although it does darken the photo a bit too much , maybe a double mat with the darker color on the outside?

I tried black and liked it... but this blue isn't bad either.
It's a matter of personal taste actually... good luck deciding. :)

I really like Tildes blue matte. I also really like the Barn pic. Reminds of the barns I see around Mountain Home when fly fishing that neck of the woods, Malky

The barn is actually in MO about 50 miles or so north of here.

Next time you're in the area, give me a holler. We can maybe go fishing together.
