Frames In Nature And Majestic Landscapes – Check Out Our Latest Update

There's something about nature that draws people to register with a camera. Photographing our geographic surroundings is a practice as old as photography itself. For this challenge, Tersha required images of frames captured within nature, sub-framing, as others would call it. Here, we've selected just a handful of all the great shots that were published in the original thread.

This time, POTW goes to @patrickw and his gorgeous dog portrait.
I love the way the dog is framed here! Nature serves both as a frame and a secondary subject here, and the colors are lush and soothing.
Congrats, Patrick.

This is something better known in photography as “visual complementation,” which in this case, is enhanced by the strong contrast between bokeh and textures.

We'd Love To Hear Your Thoughts

Here, you'll get your work critiqued by plenty of well-intended people, but you'll also have the chance to critique your peers. We truly believe in the power of criticism and feedback. Here are some of the most interesting shots shared during the last week:

The Shark Tank is a great place to learn and discuss, so please read the instructions in order to get a better critique experience.
