Very interesting effect and a lovely shot. I don't think the border is either necessary or helpful, but others may disagree.

The mylar effect is a piece of foamcore w/a sheet of mylar glued on. Sometimes I use aluminum foil. I position it to get an interesting reflection & then shoot the mylar. The scene is flattened on the reflecting surface & distorted according to the material used. The flower was shot against a piece of black foamcore.

I respect that a border is not liked by all. I usually add one when I want to keep the eye inside the frame. There wasn't much eye movement in this comp to begin with, so the border was my way of making that 'sharper.'

Keep on clickin'!

I going to have to see if I can do that mylar thing. Really like the effect. I also like how you did the bottom border on this shot. Very nice.

Looks like the flower is jumping off the page. Love that 3D effect.
