Because photography is a two-dimensional medium, we have to choose
our composition carefully to conveys the sense of depth that was
present in the actual scene. You can create depth in a photo by including
objects in the foreground, middle ground and background.
Emphasise your scene's depth by including interesting subjects at
varying distances from the camera

trees, archways and holes. By placing these around the edge of the
composition you help to isolate the main subject from the outside world.
The result is a more focused image which draws your eye naturally to the
main point of interest.
Here, the surrounding hills form a natural frame, and the piece of wood
provides a focal point
