Ability to find a natural frame for your subject is a very useful skill in my opinion. Frames really "decorate" the scene, making it more interesting and reach. Besides that, frames also lead our eyes to where, the photographer whats them to arrive eventually: the main subject. Bright, green leaves create a very interesting contrast with the red color of the door and the window frames. I would probably try using a bigger aperture for this scene, say: 4.5 or 5.6 to allow more light to the matrix. Shooting with a small aperture without a tripod becomes a tricky thing without a very bright ambient light but higher ISO, of course, can partially compensate this lack of lighting...
Thank you very much Michael Mossiagin for your comment! I can't but agree with you. One of my constant problems is lack of attention while shooting. I'm so involved in looking for sights that often forget to check the parametres of my camera. :) Of course, ISO 400 is too much, but I forgot to change it after shooting in the castle.
So, I guess - this is a common mistake as I make it constantly too :) Especially while travelling when a window of opportunity for a shot is very short sometimes.
