Use a "frame" to isolate or highlight your subject

The next time you are out for a walk with your camera (or phone, I don't care) look for natural or man-made "frames" to make your photos more interesting. The black & white image here was taken at Monmouth Battlefield State Park - the site of the Battle of Monmouth during the American Revolution. I had shot the house from all angles and under all kinds of weather but on this particular day I was looking for something different. The fence is a recreation of the fence that troops hid behind during the battle and I wanted to get an idea of what they saw. As soon as I looked through the fence I knew I had to shoot the house using the fence as a frame. You can use trees, fences, cars, your hands, anything! The only limit is your imagination.
