Framing is one of the ten basic tips to take better picture. And the most interesting part the method is adopted by amateurs and professionals alike and it never looks boring if it is done effectively. I am still in learning process & below is the list that I read from one of my secret mentor and idol , you can visit his blog ZAIN's PIX & TEXT
Framing serves a couple of purposes in composition that can make your picture stand out from the rest. Among the purposes of framing, are:
* It directs the viewer’s vision straight to the subject
* It gives a sense of depth and a perception of three-dimensionality to the two-dimensional picture
* If the frame has some similarities to the subject it creates a harmonious combination
* It adds more interest the picture and diversifies the viewpoint
* Framing can also act as foreground interest for the subject at the background
Normally wide angle lens is used when framing in order to get the maximum depth-of-field by rendering both foreground and background sharp. But there is no hard and fast rules. Sometimes out-of-focus framing succeeds in bringing out the subject without the framing competing for attention especially if the framing has little relevance to the main subject.
Landscape and architecture photography almost always adopts framing in composition with proven success although it is not limited to only the two genre of photography above.
This is my trial on framing and you can see here the similarities in shape between the frame and the subject maybe create harmony in picture beside acting as frame.
I don't know if this fence frames that I try on both picture above can present different viewpoint to viewer instead just common postcard style snap shot.Perhaps most photographers out there can do better then me.
The flyover ahead can acts as a composition frame to the subject that is the Satok building.
The fence again used as frame.
The plant framing the building.
Anyway I did not stop here as I'm keep on practice & practice.

Framing is indeed a very important factor in drawing attention to the main subject within a photograph. You have actually covered all the aspects of framing !!
Keep those awesome Olympus E-620 shots coming. We need more photographers like you in Kuching. (This place has been overpopulated with canons and nikons ahahah, not that I have anything against them, but Olympus is being overshadowed)
