I looked at your picture, I would have to say that great minds do think a like. Yours looks like a very happy day.

very cool shot...gl

What is the frame in this photo?

yea I'm not quite getting it. maybe explain it a bit so we see your view?

Actually, I see three frames. The bud part of the stem that is folded back for the flower to emerge, the rose bush branches and leaves and then the trees in the very back gound just out of focus. the trees form the 3 sides of the framing. Not the traditional frame as captured in many photos but yet it is still framed by nature.

I'll go with that! Your right in it's not the traditional framing but it's out of the box. GL author!

I was going to change this photo but I decided against it after re-reading the contest goal/theme. The goal does not appear to me to be a "frame" but taking a photograph with a surrounding that frames the object or item you are focusing on. I believe I captured that. Am I wrong? Never thought a contest as simple as this could be so confusing but I do take alot of pain meds! LOL

This is definitely on the fence but I think it'll pass. I see the same object (foliage) surrounding the flower on three sides. To me, that should count. I would pull the crop out a bit though so that the top of the bud isn't being cut off. Still, this is a great photo! All the best!

Done Steve. Thanks for the tip!

Very very beautiful shot author...well done

Love that rose!

great colors author...best of luck

agreed! very deep mood

You could use lens correction to correct the distortion of the lens so the frame of the picture looks a little more nice!!!.Great story tho.

Thanx for the advice karaflazz but i dont know how to do that?

the flash really hurt this picture in my opinion. try pictures without flash or put a piece of paper over the flash so it softens it. see the bright spot in the middle top?

Well k5683 it was not flash...there was a spotlight on this photograph in the shop...I didnt use any other external source of light and hence the picture is like this. So bad that i finished last....

Ohhh, I see...like the ones that are right over top of them.
