Photo Blog #53: Frame within the Frame

This prompt really opened my eyes to a new technique of putting your subject within a frame. I had never realized what a simple yet effective technique this could be, and something I use unconsciously most of the time. I like how this picture has a sense of childlike wonder and restraint at the same time, thanks to the frame made by the out-of-focus fence and the foliage. I played around in Photoshop with the levels of the picture, and when I made it really bright, somehow it got a bit of chromatic aberration on the edges, which I liked and kept. I then also added a gradient map and shifted the colors a little bit.
