Whilst away from home this past weekend, I was hoping to get some close-up pictures of red kites, since I knew they were breeding like rabbits in the area I'd be visiting. Unfortunately I failed in my quest, but was rewarded by a photo of a pigeon.
After messing around with the image in photoshop for a bit (about 30 seconds probably), I thought I had something worth preserving, so took some advice from a friend, and made a double shadow mount frame for it. I've got a few other 'bird' type pics, and think I'll be making a series in the same vein, with only the slip mount changing colour. Let me know what you think.....

OK - FWIW - in 2-D the first thing I saw was the photo/artwork, so you couldn't have gone far wrong.
In 3-D though - and with my designer/framer's head on - I'd be looking at progession and would have done it differently. The overall mount width in proportion to the frane is about right but the narrow middle mount leaves two equal widths of white mount not much wider than the frame.
Id've had the top mount much much wider - to take the frame away from the 'action' .
Nice photo, Tim. The framing is very appropriate. I agree with Robo about the mat widths.
Always good to keep in mind that if elements like mat, moulding, float distances are all similar widths, attention can be drawn away from the image.
