24. Framing  Framing is a border or frame around main subject. It helps to draw the viewer’s eye to subject. Creative ways to frame your subject are everywhere! Take advantage of naturally occurring “frames”—or physical structures and patterns, like a footpath or a fence. Overhanging tree branches, a doorway, or an arch can give a picture the depth it needs to make it more than just another snapshot.
