When photographing a subject that is somewhat close, a lot of times the subject can appear flat or boring, especially if you have zoomed in to fill the frame.
To add interest to the photography, include an object in the foreground to enhance the sense of depth. This leads the viewer’s eye around and through the scene, from the foreground to the subject in the distance.
