I created this using photoshop.

Two images of an anthurium were taken against a plain piece of card. I then used mask to extract the background. A new layer was created and filled with black. The extracted flower was then pasted onto this layer.

A new canvas was created and given a graduated fill using the colour of the flower and the two images were then pasted onto this canvas.

A black border was then created using the stroke command.

What do you think?

Nice work abwhitt !
I like the idea of changing the highlight position on the frame. Works better IMO.

Sorry Frank, no it's my fault. If only I took the time to read the signature.

I quite like the different highlight position too. Can I justify another A3 sheet of photoglossy paper......

How did you achieve the drop shadow effect?

That's very helpful. Thank you. I'm still getting to grips with some of the finer points of photoshop.
