Depth in the frame

Diepte van het veld · Composition

Layers in the composition that create a sense of three-dimensionality.

Include a foreground, middle ground and background. This gives the viewer the feeling of being able to step into the scene. A flower or stone in the foreground of a landscape makes the difference between a flat and an immersive image.
