The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Beautiful classic yellow roses (which, by the way, originated in Persia long ago) and the slight texture you've applied, Ly, makes it art. The matting looks quite good, quite real. One suggestion though... when I was chasing a degree in fine art, we were taught that when matting a piece, to make the bottom about 20 to 25 percent thicker; if the top and sides was 2", the bottom was 2.5" to 2.75". This produces visual weight to the bottom, where one would expect it to be, visually providing any kind or artwork, heavy or light, dark or bright, to not "float" in the viewer's perception. Just a thought.
