This is probably a relatively liberal interpretation of the challenge, or, worse, a thin link to it. Judging by the Framing challenge in August 2004, the framing here is rather weak. But I think it's a good exposure of an interesting looking guy, and the chimney behind him does make for interesting framing. Compositionally, it could use a bit more space on the bottom, but this is uncropped.

I'm mostly submitting this out of a desire to participate; I didn't have a chance to take any pictures specifically for the challenge this week, and this one is the best of those I've taken in terms of meeting the Naturally Framed description. We'll see how it goes...

I think all the post-processing fell within the Basic Editing rules. Mostly levels adjustments and some USM.
