It is done! Pre-backstitching:
And post:
It looks a whole lot better in the second photo, not just because of the backstitching, but also because it's still wet (making the stitches plump up and the colours a lot more vibrant) and the picture's taken in a different lighting.
This was due for a birthday on the 27th, so I made that deadline, but unfortunately the recipient lives 2+ hours away and the 'delivery service' that I was going to use to bring it to them went for a visit yesterday.
I'm going to have to get a frame for it, and send it off the next time they go to visit.
