I expect that many voters will mark it down as not meeting the challenge. Oh well, I like it, and want to share it. Better this than entering a mediocre photo which is squarely on-topic. At least this one hopefully will be different from many "landscape-through-the-hole" shots which I expect to see in this challenge. I have taken a few of those myself this week :).

VERY nicely done indeed. Some may say this is not naturally framed, etc. but I like it and the processing is expertly done from a well lit original. Good luck.
Great lighting, exposure and simplicity of subject - one of the best here. Personally I think I may have gone for cropping closer to exclude the dishes identity - good luck
I am sorry - based on the challenge - "Take a photograph where the subject is naturally framed in by its surroundings." this is not natural. I like the photo and think it demonstrates imagination and creativity, but does not meet the challenge.
