When the challenge came up I had a billion ideas, but nothing really worked. I tried something with picture frames, mirrors, long exposure, and nothing was really worth it. In the end I came up with this idea, and I liked it the best.
I shot this through a piece of cardboard, that had a hole in it. I put the camera on selftimer, and ran into the bathroom and posed. I did quite a few, and this one came out best.
I dont have any fancy studiolights or anything, so I had to do this the old-fashioned way: standing still for 0.3 sec, at ISO 800.
I hope this qualifies as a 'framing' shot.

I'm glad someone nominated this for an OOBIE. I thought this was quite clever. It's like looking thru a peephole and that is what provided the framing, of course. I like that it's not perfectly set up, because that would make it feel clean and posed. Keep doing your work the way you want to and ignore the nay-sayers.
Must have been a man that last used the toilet...the seat's up! :-P Clever idea for the challenge. The slightly soft image gives a sense of being there as well, instead of being crisp/sharp. May have wanted to cool the color temp just a tad as it has a strong yellowish tint from the lights. Not a big deal, just an observation. Good luck in the challenge with this.
I'd feel more like a voyeur if I could see the window frame around her. That would also cause the picture to meet the challenge. Here, I don't see any kind of a frame.
Definitely wins the humour award - although I am a little bit worried that you knew this would work... Technically, the white balance might be a bit off?
