Rules of Composition: Framing

One way to be very creative in composing an image is by framing your subject inside another element in the image. You can use architecture, tree branches, windows, tunnels; anything that can isolate your subject or form a frame around it.

In image, my lovely subject is framed by the arches of the breezeway.

This image follows at least 4 compositional rules; Patterns, Leading lines, Rule of thirds, and Framing.
