In With The Good

The plant in the foreground is too much a part of the overall image - it doesn't feel like a frame. More than anything, it establishes a frame of reference for the rest of the image. I would have gotten lower and closer and had the plant take up a good portion of the bottom, left and top of the image. Or at least I would have tried to do so. If it didn't work, I would have looked for something else. Nice location, subject matter and focus. Good luck.

The lack of focus on the framing is what bothers me with this image. It's distracting - especially given the difference in color. I like the background image though; a fitting scene for the subject. Good luck.

My problem with this image is that it is so busy and has so many areas out of focus. If it were my image I would probably have tried for a slilght greater DOF and cropped out some of the closer apples. Just my thoughts. Good luck.

I have a lot of trouble "reading" this photo. Maybe on a much brighter monitor, or printed in the right conditions, the framing would show up better. Or maybe if the foreground vertical bars were slightly lit up with light from behind, it would establish some separation from the background. I'd also like the same sense of detail in the lights along the water front that you seem to get in the reflections on the water. Anyway, I understand the idea you were pursuing and sort of like it. Good luck.

Maybe it's preferences, but I would have tried for more fire detail and less flash fill on the framing leaves. To me the emphasis should be on the subject being framed, and the frame should lend to the strength of that subject. This just didn't seem to accomplish it for me. Nice idea though.

Framed...

It may be my monitor, but I have a really hard time discerning details in this photo. Therefore, its hard to tell what has been framed and what hasn't. I'd go for a longer exposure and therefore more reflected light - and with a slightly lower line of sight, maybe the moon could be framed in those dark uprights. Just my thought. Good luck.

So, is the fence the "framing" - or just the plants everywhere? I'm confused as to how you were trying to frame and what you were trying to frame. Whatever it was, it escapes me. Sorry. Good luck though.

Trying to frame a Waterfall
by Arnarp

Comment:
I like the waterfall, but the rocks and plants really serve, for me at least, only as a foreground reference point, not really a frame. Maybe if there were also some foreground leaves or rocks along the side of the image or across the top of the image, or at least in one of the corners, then maybe it would achieve the "framing" you were trying for ... Just my suggestion. Nice water though.

Afternoon Cue in Blue

Love those clouds. However, as to framing, it would probably show better as a "frame" if you caught part of the airplane's window around them. The end of the wing just didn't seem to act as a frame - only a foreground reference point.

Key to the closet

There's just not enough to this image for me to give it much in a rating. Yep, I can tell the out of focus area is a key hole, but I really can't "see" what is beyond. So, as for framing something, the something seems missing. Maybe more focus to the foreground and a lens setting that provides more image in the background would help. Just my thoughts. Good luck.
