Thanks guys. :) I really love how it turned out. It's a soothing color palette, and with all the white border matted out your eye is drawn into the image.

Not what I had in mind, since I had Jem sign the image and was so excited that I did not notice till I got it home. I am taking it back to get it redone. Plus as the wife say, it is too bright, it does not use the light that Jem intended around the cluster, that mat should be more in tune with the surrounding color. You have the cluster, than a light ring as it gradually gets darker, then you have this big white mat (the big white mat just leads the eye away from the image). What you guys think?

I like it. I'm looking to use a white mat on mine too, with a white frame though.
but I see your point, that mat is huge. Grey linen mat on top of it would look killer imo.

That's not that bad, PLUSH. At least with your frame choice swapping in a dark or even black mat would really make the Cluster image pop.

Agreed, it's a big disconnect. It's a nice mat, but not nice for Cluster. I think your frame could be darker and thicker, too.
