For Lens Artists Challenge: Behind

Backgrounds add so much to a photo, either by contrast or by adding to the story. Sometimes just by their very blankness, they emphasize the main object. A vivid color may make the foreground object stand out. A pale color may direct ones eye to the object or person being presented.  The background may be an interesting pattern or something going on that builds the mood or plot of the photo. A friend says some of these photos do not belong. If you agree, let me know which ones. It is my feeling that each has an object or being in the foreground, some being farther in the foreground than others. And in all cases, I feel there is an aspect of the background that meets  the before-mentioned criteria.

Does this seem excessive? Believe me, I tried to cull out as many photos as possible. This is just a third of what I shot. None of the color has been augmented. The only changes I made were in cropping and sharpening. Glorious. All were shot from my house or garden.
