SPFG, Supreme Picture Framing God
Long post, but please bear with me.
I usually have great ideas and can really frame decent stuff, from antique prints / botanicals to all kinds of paintings.
But I noticed that, occasionally, I am at loss when it comes to photos, especially very colorful family photos.
Scenario/ Example: Professional photo of a father + 2 kids.
Color composition:

Both went well with a gold frame and the customer was quite happy. But I felt a bit weird that I had to hesitate at first.
How do you handle photos with lots of colors (or scenes similar to the above)?
What would you have done differently?
PS: What I am trying to convey here, is that all those colors created a color-overload in my brain! Just 2 weeks ago, I framed 4 large pictures, also by a professional photographer, of 3 girls in a garden. The customer loved it so much, she brought 3 more one week later.
Sometimes I wish the Grumble has a gallery with separate categories where one could get some inspiration in situations like this.

- Background is very light blue-gray</font>
- Father is wearing a light blue shirt with dark blue stripes.</font>
- the kids are wearing clothes that include red and light blue colors.</font>
