Understanding I could get softer lighting at either end of the day, park hours were restrictive.

One question I have is, can the frame also work as the subject?

Would love to see it....but it's just an "x"!

Still? I see it in your reply...

If it's the same as PhotoBucket....you just paste it right in here, bypass the image button! (For me, it was helpful when someone pointed out the tutorial....not sure where it's posted exactly..? But, but...it is on here somewhere.)

Interestingly, on refresh I got an empty frame, and had to right-click and select show picture.

Enough with that foolishness, I decided to try out Photobucket, and it seems to work better...

I can see it fine and I do really like it. I wouldn't say that you're using the frame as a subject, since there is still a big rock in the middle acting as a point of interest. I like the contrast between the orange/blue so I don't think this was a bad time of day to take it. The only problem is that the sunlight on the rock on the bottom left has left it a bit too bright and distracting. Since it's well distinguished and would be fairly easily to select in PS, I'd try upping the saturation/using the burn tool on that part of the rock.

Nice.

Hmmm...not sure you can use the frame as the subject--I assume you mean, to make the frame sharper than the image inside of it?

I think it might be better to take the shot from either just left or just right, not dead centre. Does that make sense, LOL!? ...The centre of the photo can still be centre, but just angle the rock frame slightly.

Also...I wonder if you should make the image in centre a wee bit sharper--to draw the eye there?

You know...thinking about it...I'm wondering if you could make the frame sharper and have it be the picure? You might be able to do that, if the rock frame is interesting enough!!??

Oh, and welcome!! :hug::

I tried out the burn tool to darken the exposure on the corner. Had not used that tool before, might be a bit overdone...

 

[srt86hil]

No I don't think you overdid it. It doesn't necessarily add to the photo but it makes that bit less distracting.

nice shot! Thanks for sharing!

Lovely shot of a great subject..like the second edit,just right.

I really dig that picture. I like rock formation around the frame.
