    Default scenic and a question

    I really need to work with Xara much more than I have been to get back into it.
    I tried to create a somewhat foggy day and a view from the distance.
    try as I may, I couldn't figure out what, if any, foreground would work. So, the question is, does this stand alone or in your opinion does it need a foreground, and if so, what. Eager to hear from you.

    Tim, tricky.
    At present, the viewer seems to be in the lake. You would expect ripples from them or a boat.
    If there are none, there has to be a jetty.

    My best punt is to try and show the shallows:

    Or have a few stylized cat tails in the foreground.

    Egg, 5 stars, Love it brings something in focus in the foreground and along with the shallow water really helps this image. Talkgraphics to the rescue again!!

    There's another consideration for the object in the foreground that this depends on whether or not it is the focal point or just there to add depth to the image.

    The object in the foreground could be dark and in silhouette.
