Thanks. I read the article and then played around with the various ideas - complementary color, width of the mat, texture, bevel. I was surprised at the result.

And here's a more obvious example of "matting to the left" of an image with depth recession obviously toward the left.

really?
Are there no other examples of artistic matting used to enhance inherent illusory depth perception cues?

Sorry Dave I haven't matted or framed anything yet, too busy learning the basics.

don't worry 'bout framing, just play around with matting..Amazing how it can enhance ... or detract!

Wow! I have been thinking about starting to do matting and this has made my mind up to do it now. Such a big difference it makes. Thanks for the post.

In the early years of my photography - with film the group I belonged to required all photos entered on competition night be framed and/or matted. Wow what a difference it makes to a photo to be matted - picking a color and style - square, oval or round -

Enhancing Perceived Depth in Images via Artistic Matting

IMO many may find this a most informative article. I should add that its message is fully as applicable to displaying images on-line as by matting and framing for hanging on the wall.

We post many images in hope that their inherent depth can be displayed.
Here are a few images demonstrating, I think, the difference between the "naked" image compared with the "matted" image.

Really interesting stuff. I discarded putting frames around pics a few years back because I saw so many rubbish attempts that just looked amateurish and mine were of the same ilk. But this has just opened up a whole new set of ideas for me. Many thanks and after some exploration I will post a few.
