Knowing how to control and manipulate your aperture is one of the key aspects of great photography. Many factors are involved, such as using the proper lens that allows for a wide aperture. Shooting wide open translates into a low number, such as f1.4 or 1.8.

Set your aperture to 1.4 and focused on just one of the tree branches.

It seems more realistic and lifelike with that added dimension, with a more artistic quality to the image.

Creating distance between the subject and the background also allows for greater dimension in an image.

The short distance from the palm of your hand to your shoulder is enough to create depth when holding an object out at arm’s length.

Using the foreground to frame a shot creates a unique perspective for the viewer. Whether I'm photographing a room, people, or objects, having the foreground just out of focus creates more visual interest to the subject in focus — it draws the eye in.
