Finding pictures for this challenge was not as easy as I initially thought it would be. For the most part, when incoporating two elements on different planes, the tendency is for one to be in focus and the other to be a bit blurry.
Like the first of these:
But I did find a couple or three that do fit the bill a bit more closely.
All of them, I might add, were taken on the rockpooly, sandy beaches around Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland – a most excellent place to visit.

The third one is especially nice 🙂
Thanks. The monster-child was busy putting beach pebbles in his shorts at the time 🙂
I totally agree with Marion.

First photo is excellent!
Wasn’t intentional. Call it a happy accident.
I love how the first is blown out–makes it unique, very fresh.
It was an accident. I had the camera set to aperture priority instead of shutter without realising, and the aperture was wide open. It took me a while to figure out what was wrong, but once I did, I played around with it for a while.
