Mark, Dennis et al.:

An illustration in accord with your "paradigm" can often be  found in
Hasselblad illustrations. Employing a square format and a wide angle lens,
the foreground is frequently filled with flowers that are out of
focus-outside the region defining the depth of field. There is nothing more
annoying than seeing a sharply focused model or building as the main
subject, while the eye is led to the subject through a field of out of focus
tulips or roses.

I agree with you Mark. If the foreground is interesting it must be
sharp. If the foreground is not interesting then it's not likely to be
an interesting photo.---Dennis
