• MIDDLE GROUND (MID-GROUND): the middle distance of a painting or photograph.

• BACKGROUND: the area or scenery behind the main object of contemplation, especially when perceived as a framework for it.

Atmospheric Perspective, or Linear Perspective. Space can also be

Positive or Negative.

POSITIVE SPACE: The shapes or forms in a composition.
