I finished my Hypostasis today as well. Not breaking any new ground with the black on black. Conceptually, I was attempting to build depth with the moulding sloping in and stepping down along with two 8-ply mats so it added more to the sense of the subject falling inward. I'm not sure it worked out how I pictured. I think it really needs a spacer between the mats to help the effect but there isn't enough rabbet depth at this point. I still like it, though

I forgot to add some "pro tips" I was thinking about on this project for anyone else DIYing this print. 
1) This thing turned out a lot larger than I was picturing in my mind
. It didn't seem like that big of a print.
2) If you're matting out the border, I'd maybe make the mat window 1/8" smaller than the image. I went with 1/16. It worked, but you really have to keep everything aligned since there isn't much wiggle room.
3) I don't know why I get black mats for anything. It always drives me crazy trying to eliminate dust because you can see everything. I guess that's not so much a tip, as a general musing.

Nice job, felocin. That's a little different than any of the others I've seen.
