portraits Mother and Daughter

Feedback. does the matting work with the photo? Does the photo work?

I really like the combination of colors you chose for the frame/matte. However, I'm less excited about mother's hai that falls outside the white matte. Also, the division of the girl's shoe seems to distract me. But when you try something a little different, it always brings old farts like me out of the woodwork. It is a fresh approach!

I think this is a great portrait of mom and daughter. Really nice. I think it stands alone without the inner white border.
