Shot raw. Extracted two "exposures", so as to fill-light the foreground. Other than that, the main effort has been to make the wooden frame out of the painting stand.
p.s. I just love this f/1.8 lens.
post-challenge:
Apparently, the effort I spent making the border did me no good. My apologies to the voters and commenters.
I think it is worth making clear that textured borders are disallowed.
Another version with a legal frame is available:
