Great depth on the frame, and a pretty picture inside.

Great! Who'd have thunk you could use people as part of a frame?
Not that it affects the score, but something to think about: A vertical picture of more than about 520 pixels tall won't fit many monitors. I had to scroll this picture to see all of it, meaning I don't see it as a whole. It is as if you had cropped out the sign.

Great take on this challenge.

The door makes a lovely frame, and it looks like there's a great scene behind it. I'd kind of like to see the background better, but still a lovely shot.

You'd have a much stronger sense of framing if you had cropped out the top two flowers. One of them is seriously out of focus; you could cut the other just below the green center.

Beautiful!
This is one shot that loses a lot by having to scroll through it, rather than seeing it as a whole (I don't take off points for that - it's just frustrating). That's always a tradeoff in vertical shots - a good size versus the inability of many monitors to take in the whole shot at once.

Nice frame - the framing adds a lot here - the gull would be lost without it.

Nice shot, nice model. Unfortunately, I have to guess what the picture looks like as a whole, since it won't all fit on my monitor. This doesn't lower the score, but it is irritating.
I know the maximum size is 640 pixels, but in a vertical shot that means it is too big for many monitors. That's always a tradeoff in vertical shots - a good size versus the inability to take in the whole shot at once.

She's cute, but too dark and small relative to the rest of the picture. Cropping at the top of the inner (lower) curve of the arch would help. That's how I see the picture on my monitor, since it's too deep to fit in one go.
That's always a tradeoff in vertical shots - a good size versus the inability of many monitors to take in the whole shot at once, but in this case a tighter crop at the top would solve that problem and make for a better picture.

Beautiful, the way the flowers partially escape from the frame.
