Mary Anne - Suspend your thinking on foreground-background framing and just look at the pic without trying to see a frame in front of a subject. Hope that helps. Keep smiling, -mikey

Mikey, I understand what you're saying about the sky as a frame, but I think the only way that would work would be if the horizon was basically a straight line without the rocks and greenery to break up the sides so much. Or maybe I'm just being too much of a literalist. ;-)

Well, the framing I see is the sky outlining the rock, both in the reflection and the direct view. IOW, the rock is framed by the sky. If you squint you can't miss it, at least it looks just like a frame to me. Thanks for commenting, -mikey

Nice colors, Michael, but I'm having trouble seeing what the framing is, besides the grass along the bottom.

Been meaning to get to this great image Michael. It is beautiful, but I'm open to suggestions about the framing- I'm maybe too dense to see it right in front of my face :-)
