It's not about the photo itself but more about presentation

I like the "triple" when I was entering matted and framed photos I used the a lot - in this BW image the white works great - when I was wenterin color prints I tried to find a color from the image for the matt - again "Nice Work"

I often add a fake mat. One thing that really makes them work is to bevel the inside edge of the matt so it looks like a real mat.
In Affinity the bevel stuff is in "Photo Effects" and I forget where it is in PS. Makes a huge difference if done right.

If these prints are for sale, I would suggest letting the buyer frame it him/herself with a real frame instead of "printing" a frame. Not sure how you feel about purchasing plexiglass, but you could consider having plexi cut to the size of the matted print and using mirror clips to display your prints on the wall. That way you can hang your prints away from the wall with a spacer to get a more finished look.
BTW - Nice image!

The double mat is quite pleasing where as the heavy black border seems too confining. This, of course is a matter of opinion.

I'd hang the triple at home in a onesie twosie group. For a many image presentation, like a show, I really like the Double mat.

Thanks for the tip. Makes me think you didn't really look at the 2 photos. If you had, you would realize that I had already done this.

My opinion for what is worth, I will go with the double. The triple mat over powers the photo.

I did look at your photo's but only long enough to see which frame I liked. Makes me think you don't read the replies, as if you had, you would have realized I had already taken the time to give my opinion on double vs triple, as requested.
The tip was a freebee for anyone making fake matts, and was in response to someone else that mentioned fake mats. You're right though, going back I see you didn't need the tip. Hopefully, someone else will find it useful.

I'm no expert ... but the triple does look better to me. That being said... if you don't have the first one right next to one with the triple approach... it looks very nice. :-D
