Composition - Depth

Depth - For this contest we are looking for a deep depth of field (DOF) not shallow.

Depth is closely related to background, and is also dependent on the type of image you?re trying to capture. In a landscape, for example, you typically want everything to remain in focus. In a portrait, you may want that background to be out of focus. To isolate your subject from his or her background, use a wide aperture. To include the background, use a smaller one.

Depth can also be shown through other means. Including something in the foreground, for example, can add dimension to an otherwise two dimensional appearing image. You can also overlap certain elements, since the human eye is used to seeing closer objects appear to overlap objects that are at a distance, your viewer will automatically interpret this information as depth.

Try to induce some depth to the background by focusing on the foreground, giving lot of space to the foreground and filling them with strong subject, makes the human mind to separate the layers. Natural light can play a great role in creating depth to an image. Also creating these depths makes the viewer visualize them in a wider angle.

Editing is allowed.

Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Sunday, May 10, 2015.
