if you view pictures of people on social networking sites, do you care about the background of the pictures or you just focus on the people or person in the pics? my mom is kind of paranoid about her pics uploaded on facebook, she wants everything to be perfect, she gets angry when my dad chooses pics to be used as her profile pic without her knowledge especially if the background is not that good, she feels ashame of it..as if people care at all..

Maybe your mom is also concern about the outcome of the picture that is why she was fussy about the background. My mo does not like pictures that she was not yet ready for the snap or if she looks ugly in it. Maybe we do have different tastes when it comes to pictures. Some like it wacky and fun, others do like it professionally taken. But whenever you need to post a pic, be sure of course to take courtesy of the person that is in the picture.

I think that it would depend on why you were taking the photograph in the first place. If you were taking a photo of yourself with a famous person for example then of course it wouldn't matter whether your background was good or not. However, most of the photos that I choose to take are taken because of where I am at the time, and because I need evidence that I have been at that place. Because of that, I think that it is much better in such a case to be able to have a nice background to give the whole picture a positive vibe.

Hi!
If you think of a picture as a whole, the main person and the background both are important, because the background will make the picture complete. You can imagine if the background are just in one color, say black, so, will you like the picture? Or you are having some indecent activities in the background of your picture, will you still consider using it? So, it is important.

Well, i think i know how is your mom's feeling about the background. I'm also care about the background of my pictures and also like to see my friends background pictures too. I think it is important to have a good background picture since many people dont always want to see the face of the person in that picture only but also wanted to know where they taking that pictures. I also think, with a good background will make the pictures looked more good than didn't have a good background.

i think background is very important. even when the picture focuses on persons, the background also counts. we can make an experiment to prove it. give different background to the same person and different effect will occur.
