I was framed!

A technique in taking pictures is called framing. In framing a shot, one has to frame (surround) the subject by something that would draw the viewer's eyes to the subject of the photograph. Some frames can be 

1. literally around the subject
2. partially around the subject
3. points to the subject by a certain pattern
4. causes the isolation the subject

In any way, this framing technique is unconsciously made by some but a conscious framing of the subject is better because framing is a way of composing the picture. 

Question: If you ask me, does a picture frame of a framed picture enhances the subject? Not necessarily. It only enhances unframed shots. Below are examples of pictures that used "framing" technique.

This picture, taken by Meshaq Dangel, using Pentax Option E30 Digicam, with a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixel surrounds the subject:colored sky by the leaves of trees. This is partial framing.

Norhossin Masilum, took this shot of a framed sunset using Kodak Easyshare C315 Digicam with a resolution of 2304 x 1728 pixels. Both shots by any standard are substandard in Professional Photography (minimum is 3000 x 4000) but are good enough for my class.

The obvious subject here is the shadow of a tree. The frame? The ground itself which serves to partially isolate the subject. Taken by J Christian Ventic using Canon Powershot A400 Digicam at 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution.
