With Photoshopping and Image softwares abounding everywhere, most photographers dont bother with backgrounds much these days. Click, click, click...and off to their comps they go.

I for one would love to see those long outdoor photosets they did about 8-10 years back - on cliffs, beaches, the sea, evening backdrops etc. They still do it, but it has come down remarkably.

There's nothing better than seeing beauty against the backdrop of natural art. It enhances the overall beauty of the photos many times over. And of course, it is a showcase for the talents and the eye of the photographer, too.
