Framing #2 .......Maybe?

1/800 sec. @ f/6.3,  150mm

What a fun afternoon.  I love assignments!  Framing.  Like the photo above there can be a very simple way to framing a subject.  The flags and the pole framed the shadow of the subject.  To me this photo is quit busy.  The framing works OK.

Ok  How is this framing?  Lines, dots, circles, and a walker?  Get out of here!  When looking for framing shots I saw this as a framed shot.   Let's talk.  The circles (manholes in the concrete) create an imaginary line.  Especially with the newly grouted crack between them.   Just above the walker is foot prints of a girl that had just played in the fountain and left wet footsteps.  She is just out of the frame.  So we have a line with circles and a line with the wet footsteps.  The cracks (expansion joints) cross just under the walker.  The combo of these items frames her in the photo.  Or maybe I saw the potential for a fun photo and took it.

This boy in the water was just too easy to pass up.  The water frames the boy. (really?).  The afternoon was very enjoyable.  

All the photographs were taken with the Nikon D-200, an 18-200mm lens, all exposures were lowered by -0.33.  A continuous ISO of 100 in all of them.
