5 - Nice. Even though the foreground 'framing' is oof, it is dominant enough to show a definite framing here, however would like to have seen more of it, including focus, for this Challenge.

6 - Good. A more finely tuned crop at the top, minimizing the fill-flash effect (apologies in advance if it is not fill-flash), make this better in my opinion, as well as some tweaking in pp for added drama/depth, though I realize difficult in basic.

3 - Not sure what I'm looking at here, however on close inspection, can decipher a 'natural framing' - just, but it is not 'the foreground subject' that is framing the rest of the image, so is a stretch. Unusual pp and colors though, fairly interesting abstract type image, perhaps a little 'dark' for my taste. Good composition/balance.

3 - Good compositional framing, however would like to have seen the frame more in focus for this Challenge.

3 - Very nice portrait, but yes you 'cheated' primarily, in my opinion. Toning works well, overall seems a little .. dark. A more finely tuned crop, especially on the left, make this better in my opinion.

2 - Not sure if you were going for an abstract type image here, if so, potential is there. I think more definition, stronger lighting and a variation in the background/base color (as is detracts from the subject), may have made this better in my opinion. The 'frame' itself, also not as strong as I'd like to have seen for this Challenge.

3 - Looks like some contrast issues in your fore/frame. Overall, subject/scene just not holding my attention, perhaps a variation in toning may have given this extra, not sure, otherwise I'm seeing primarily plain high-rise architecture.

2 - Whilst you have somewhat 'cheated' and also gone against the spirit of the Challenge by 'just using a frame/matt' - as a portrait this is not bad, however trying to get more 'expression' on Poppy's face, may have made this more special, as well as a more finely tuned crop, especially at the bottom. Overall, likely what you were aiming for, however doesn't really meet the Challenge strongly enough, in my opinion.

7 - Very nice. Good focal control seemingly. Just wish that the bone(?) was as focally uniform all the way around your 'frame', as is bottom right - and more of it included too.
