Understanding the Whole Picture

Understanding the whole picture.  That means the background, too.  In photography, the background of an image is as important to the art as the subject.  In surf photography, this principle is rarely taken into account, as the background of an image is usually a wave. I took a look at stunning surf photography whose backgrounds are as important as their foregrounds.– see what a world of difference this makes.
Please note, I do not own the rights to nor did I take  any of these photos.
