Photography contest - foreground

Please read the CONTEST GUIDELINES before participating in this contest.

foreground
Contest Goal:
It's that easy, we all know -- but most snapshooters concentrate on the subject only. This time you have to take care of the foreground as well as the background when shooting your favorite subject. Neither the foreground nor the background have to be in focus, they can as well be blurred using a shallow depth of field (DoF), but there has to be a foreground, a subject and a background.

Contest comments:

nofue: As I've seen a lot of misleading comments and some more quite o.t. pictures, here's a nice run down on 'foreground': http://www.digital-photography-tips.net/photography-tutorial.html Recomended read _before_ submitting or commenting or rating entries 'off topic' because of no knowing what the term means.

outbackjack: So far I am seeing just subjects in the foreground mostly. As far as I understand there needs to be a subject 'sandwhiched' inbetween a foreground and background object, so it is like three planes in the picture. (2 years and 347 days ago)
joecacia: Thank you Nofue, a great link to learn. (2 years and 347 days ago)
bluefly: there is a miscommunication on this contest. There needs to be a subject in the middle sandwiched between a foreground and background. Your subject needs to be in focus but the background or foreground can be out of focus. If you only have a foreground element it is off topic and removed so you can try again.
