Foreground Interest

Placing subject matter in the foreground can create depth and scale. This is achieved using a wide-angle lens, features can be included that are at your feet. Wide angle lens also exaggerate perspective so that subjects closer to the camera are much larger than the distant features. This illusion conveys depth because your brain knows the distant features are normally bigger. Make sure a small aperture is used (f/16 or f/22) to ensure everything is in focus front-to-back.
