This week Patti invites us to share three photos that demonstrate the use of foreground, middle ground and background to draw the viewers eyes into the photo and emphasize the main subject.
A Bald Eagle pair perched above the dune grasses, their feathers ruffled by the wind is my first choice for this challenge. It hardly needs explaining, with the foreground of grass leading to the posts and the birds nicely silhouetted upon the blue-gray sky. The larger bird on top is the female.
With this shot I wanted to capture some of the wildness of the Pacific Ocean surging against the shoreline at North Head. The foreground plants are blurred and the green extends up the right side of the photo. The middle ground focus is on the water churning into and against the rocky outcropping, while ocean, sky and trees fill the background.

Serene shots that perfectly fit the bill, Lindy!
Thank you, Leya!
Lindy, your fantastic images are perfect for the challenge. The eagles are my favorite.
Thank you,Beth. I have many shots of eagles, so it’s fun when I find one that fits the challenge!
Hi Lindy, I like these – especially the first one! Isn’t North Head Lighthouse also a middle ground photo? The green of the bluff (North Head) & fence are foreground, and the ocean is background. – and my eye goes right to the white of the lighthouse.
Or, maybe I missed the entire point! I do enjoy your posts.

You got it!!!
Hi Lindy. Great examples of framing using the 3 Grounds! Your image of the bald eagles is stunning.
Thank you Patti. I have many good shots of eagles so l’m trying to bring more into my posts!
