Photographic Perspectives - Focus

 

In these photographs, an object in the foreground (dog) varied to create an emphasis upon different elements in the frame.  While these three images all have a nearly identical background, the focus of the picture shifts from shot to shot.  In the first one, the dog occupies enough of the foreground to become the focal point of the shot.  The second photograph shows the dog off to the side of the frame, but still within it, causing the audience's focus to be drawn upwards from the black animal to the dark (nearly black) branches in the background.  The final shot uploaded gives full attention to the background which is, by itself, still intricate and interesting.
