This week Patti at Lens-Artists asks us to consider fore- middle- and background when framing our photos. And it just so happens I took a few (I think) suitable photos back in March when we were staying beside the river at Bidford-on-Avon in Warwickshire.
The house had a fine view of the town’s fifteenth century bridge. On the afternoon we arrived there was brilliant sunshine. I’m glad I caught it! I liked the shimmery reflections of trees and church tower in the river, but also that you can glimpse the upstream banks through the arches. Can you see the swan?

And lastly a couple of photos from our visit to nearby Hidcote Manor Gardens:
I liked the layered look of the magnolia blossoms near and far against the flat grey sky.

What’s not to like about this red-framed window in the Hidcote tearoom, and such a rich red too. Then there’s the garden border beyond, still slumbering for the most part, and in the distance the manor house roof.
Choose a pane, any pane…

Lens-Artists: Framing your shot – fore-, middle, and background
This week Patti sets the theme, and gives us some excellent examples and guidance. Go and see!
Oh my, Tish, what amazing photos for this challenge. I loved the bridge in black and white, emphasizing texture. Your “View from the Bridge” is an excellent example for the challenge. The “Red Framed Window” was another favorite.
Many thanks, Anne, for all those kind words 🙂
