I don't know if adding a Frame is a Manipulation. If so, it's the only one. This Winter scene won me a Leica 111F a few years ago (1957), and the frame seems compatible. Think it's too much???
Now this is really a good one, I won't say how old I was back then, but I was a young'n, Lol! I would say it's a toss up with the frame, but I do think it works fine with the image. Tigs♥ =^..^=
None of your fine photography is ever too much, Doug. The starkness with the bold lighting is really eye grabbing. Congrats on your win, albeit some time ago.
