One of the three 10's for me. I love the distant picture, and the composition of your frame. I think I might have liked it even more (although I don't believe 11's are possible on this site!) if the model were more relaxed into the arch, perhaps with her arm/hand looking more relaxed as well.

This shot meets the challenge quite well though I see you had some struggle with the widely varied exposure. A fill flash may have helped to lighten your subject and even out the image. I hope you do well. Good luck.

Here we have a good example of the value of fill-flash. The woman and the surrounding 'frame' are simply too dark and you should have used the on-camera flash, or better yet an external flash, to lighten those parts up a bit.
It is often said that the built in flashes in cameras were put there for one reason, to be used as fill-flash to lighten up the foreground during the day and not for using when there is little available light, such as in the evening.

Try it! (If you haven't done so yet). During sunny days you should try to enable the on-board flash when taking pictures of subjects close to the camera (especially people).

Middle age what!?! Beautiful scenery.

What a relaxing meditative photo. Somthing about the soft lines of the woman's posture and the fact that we're watching her watching the view is very calming. I might have like if you cropped out more of the wall on the left side, so the amount of wall shown on both sides was roughly the same. Love the photo, I don't know about the title though.

Very nice image with a beautiful frame. I assume it would have been difficult but this would have been killer, looking down, taken from a higher point of view. 8

Exposing for the sky and clouds is a good move, but the interior seems too dark. I realize that the object of focus should be the "inside" of the framing, but I think there is a missed chance to highlight the potentially interesting framing material as well. What textures the walls could have added to the image...

Maybe if the figure was a little bit brighter/colorful.......Still a nice shot.

This is a beautiful "framed" picture! It makes me want to see more of that beautiful landscape :)

think this would have been more effective without the woman 6

Very interesting. Too bad the knees are hiding part of the landscape. The clouds are nice. If it were possible, perhaps if this picture were taken at a higher angle, were there was less blue sky, it would be nicer.
