Joe - Thanks. That's the method I've been using for quite some time now (this was posted almost a year ago). Can't do the texture thing like I did with this border, but pffff who needs it?

Make it four, if you will. I think it's a fine photo. Line, color, texture. The cylindrical shape is echoed in the leaves. The after pipe suggest a tie to the new. The colors naturally compliment.
Borders are easy, by the way. Canvas size. And make sure the border color you want is the background color. And increase the canvas size, using pixels to make sure it's even around. If you add a 40 pixel border to the width, add 40 to the height, as well.

Justin - Thanks. I like it too. Nobody else does (well, Dario does, but we three...). Oh well. See you around.

Dario - Thanks for your comment. That sounds pretty similar to what I've been doing now.
I resize the canvas by some number of pixels and fill that extra area with some color using the paint bucket tool (sometimes I take a color from the photograph itself using the eyedropper tool). If I do that a couple of times I can get a striped effect in the matting. I also usually merge the matting layers (I do each addition as a separate layer below my image) and add a texture to those together.
That's how I've been doing it lately.
