    Always keep an eye out for what might be in the background of your photo. ;

    Even out of focus elements can detract from your subject.

    But more importantly- you might miss something. ; 8)

    Tim, rowing downhill is ALWAYS better than rowing uphill. ;)

    In this case, I would expect the background would BE the subject. :)

    Yes, there are times (in the past) that I would take a photo of something, just to make sure I got the background in. ; ;)
