Jimmie,

I am no expert on framing and my suggesting is more on the drawing.

I think that the blank paper in the bottom looks a bit strange to that frame. If it was me I would fill it with the red that you have done along the other three sides. That red works like a border area that makes the transition to the frame smoother and sort of works like a matting.

I like the frame and don

I like this frame though I do agree with Allan that the cropping of the image at the bottom feels awkward. I'd either leave lots more room below the figure to show more of the ground (probably too late for that, I imagine) or I'd crop all the raw background out and move the signature up.
