Black and White Challenge 56 Now Framed

August 20th, 2020
Thanks to Larry L. @lsquared for running the last round of the challenge, and thanks to everybody who participated and voted. It’s your continued support that makes the challenges on 365 so exciting and successful.

While there is no rule stating that we cannot use themes previously done, I looked long and hard to find a new subject and found that “Natural Framing” is not on this exhaustive list.

Using a foreground element to create a frame within the picture is one of the oldest tricks of the trade for artists and photographers. The framing element not only isolates and emphasizes a subject, but it adds a feeling of depth to a photograph. It can also eliminate distracting details or create an interesting foreground where none existed before.

I was able to round up a couple of links for you.
