Picture not the problem

I just grabed the picture of my grandson just for an example I'm more interested in the framing to the picture. The example frame is one of mine and the pictures are old (1970's) But as you can see in the frame all of the matting is produced in photoshop and I'm trying new one's that I hope are acceptable but not the centre of attraction as it were. I do collage's for these frames also and have posted one or two. I find if people have a lot of old photo's stashed away they like to put them on display but as I said some pictures have more background than subject so I try to mask it but also give the pictures a commonality. Its the over all look that I'm interested in.--Lenny
