Foreground, background, and perspective


Detail of Keeper of the Plains in Wichita, KS


Experiment in circular design


FOREGROUND is the part of the image that is closest to the viewer.
  
BACKGROUND is the part of the image that is behind the foreground. In between the foreground and the background is the middle ground or midground.
   
PERSPECTIVE is the way in which an object appears to the eye. It also refers to the techniques that are used to create the way the images appear in a work.

In the photo above, the sky is in the background and the statue is in the forground.
