Stark (this refers to the photo).
A BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) friend once told me that the art of matting a photo consists of finding a color within the photo, then matching it. The trick, he said, is that this color should not be the predominant color, but a small swatch of a hue embedded deeply inside the photo. So, although this is totally random, I would choose a different matte color. You already have plenty of it at the bottom of the frame.
That is a great advise, Thanks.
