Frame within a frame

 Frame within a frame is a technique photographers use to draw a viewers eye to the subject or main elements of the scene. It adds depth, increases a viewers interest or where they are viewing and creates a sense of isolation so that the subject inside the frame draws all the attention. It is like a second border inside your image. For example, windows, doors, arches, etc.







The darkness around the frame highlights the center of the image in the center. The light in the center draws your eye to it.
This frame of the walkway guides the viewers eye to Lily as she is centered under the frame. 
The lighter outside of the frame of the walkway contrasts to the darker interior, which I really liked. Lily is centered in the frame highlighting her as the subject. 
I thought the multiple frames in this was really interesting. I also liked how the view is highlighted while the frames are darker, putting emphasis on the view
Similarly, I like how the window is acting as a frame. The walls are darker putting more emphasis on the bright snow and view.
Again, like my others, I like how dark the multiple frames within the big window are. It contrasts to the bright outside, drawing your eye to it.
This one was my favorite. I really like how it is only clear through my phones camera and the rest is blurry. It shows that you really have to look through the frame to see the image.
This one was really difficult to take as the elevator kept closing. I liked how many frames within the frame there are all leading to the view, almost like leading lines.
I found this really interesting, but I think it would be better if there was a subject, same with the rest of these, but I had no one with me. The bright windows and reflection contrasts to the dark frame.
I like that the chair lines are dark but blurry, drawing your eye to the clear bright image behind it.
