Unfortunately this is the first photo I have seen without a frame or a frame which I cannot see. I do however think this is a very nice photo and feel that you should make the print available as it is that nice. Excellent colors, clarity and crispness in this photo but in my opinion does not meet the challenge. <4>

Naturally framed and framed by nature are 2 different things IMO but both fit for this challenge. IMO you have to much frame and not enought subject. Perhaps a tigher crop would have made for a more cosmetically pleasing photo without putting the emphasis on the frame. Good luck in this challenge. <6>

The people standing at the top of the ramp are very distracting and would have made for a better photo if they were not in it. The photo itself is pretty boring but does meet the challenge. I find that the photo has a little to much contrast/brightness but with the direction of the sun draws the eyes into the photo. Good luck in this challenge. <5>

A subject framed by itself. Interesting. Excellent clarity and color but the subject vs. the frame in a little to close IMO. The photo has a general pleasing feel to it and I think it is an excellent wildlife photo. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>

The photo is not level. I also find it to be a little OoF but do think it would have made for a nice photo. I like the way it looks rainy/wet and find it gives character to the photo. A rotation of 1 to 2 degrees CCW nd recrop would have made for a more level and apealing photo. I really like that wet look overall. Good luck in this challenge. <5>

I find the photo as beautiful as it is has some serious focus issues. It also looks like it has to much contrast as well. I do however like the colors involed and wish they were a little more vibrant. Good luck in this challenge. <5>

Wow very interesting. Am I outside looking in at a reflection or inside looking out. Very nicely done on the abastract side of photography. I really like the reflection and the colors and clarity of the shot but and not really fond of the subject, not that I will be voting down your subject in this photo because I feel all in all it was very well thought out and should take a ribbon. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <9>

I'm not fond of the shot because the subject is not really framed altho its is by DoF which is debatable. Aside from that I find the clarity of the ducks appear to be a tad over sharpened which takes away from the beauty. I am also not fond of the DOF of the leaves and find it takes away more then it adds to this photo which is why I'm not fond of it. I think you did a great job not getting any hot spots off the water tho. Good luck in this challenge. <5>

Altho this photo may fit the challenge I feel it would have done better in a window or portrait challenge. The subject is not the greatest subject as it is just a person and the frame altho is very interesting is a little more interesting the the person behind it . I think the photo has excellent clarity, color and crispness and for the most part is well put together but IMO the subject lacks. I title such as "looking for my baseball" might have a greater impact to go along with this photo. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>

I am not fond of the subject or the framing in this particular photo. I find the subject to be lacking interest and to contraversial for a challenge. I also find that there is only a partial frame but you will not get marked down for that. I find the photo has to much contrast from the sky and giving the building a fuzzy/soft focus look which I find unnecessary and very distracting. I also find that you may have a clarity issue with the tree leaves which may or may not be corrected by a slight levels adjustment or color adjustment. However dispite my personal views on the building I find that this could have made for a nicer shot(for this particular building) if the sky was blue or stormy grey and a little more focused. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
