Beautiful composition inside and outside with the frame. Your DOF is fantastic!
I always have difficulty getting my background sharp and yet, keeping my frame sharp as well. But, I guess that's the beauty of a point and shoot.
Wonderful POV and capture, Nikki. Framing images is something I've always enjoyed!
Congratulations on another beautiful finalist. ~Bunny #8629969
