I chose this of the many ideas that I shot because I thought the foreground frame came out the best and it has a nice pattern. Perhaps a bit too abstract!
Post: Auto Levels, layer adjustments for brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, USM, crop, resize, USM.

Very interesting "texture" that is created, and a good creative approach to the challenge topic. I keep wanting to find some focus point, my eye keeps sliding around it.
I took me a minute to see the frame, but I get it. Interesting compositon but kind of has a busy feel to it. Just IMO but it feels off for some reason.
