Solution: To have the image in the header foreground you need to check all the following steps.
1 – Set “Custom Styles” at Suffusion Options -> Skinning -> Header
2 – Set “Use a predefined image or logo” at Header Foreground Image Type from Suffusion Options -> Skinning -> Header;
3 – Upload your image or insert the url to it, below at Header Foreground Image;
4 – Unset “Hidden” for Blog Title/Header Image at Suffusion Options -> Other Graphical Elements -> Header;
5 – In WordPress before 4.1. go to Appearance -> Header and check the box “Show header text with your image.”, otherwise WordPress will consider that you don’t wish to add a header at all and it will even remove the picture you uploaded in Suffusion.
6 – In WordPress 4.1 go to Appearance -> Header,  this will open the Customizer so in step 4 above it will change to as follows:
4.1. Customizer -> Header Image check to have “No image set” for Current Header.
4.2. Customizer -> Site Title and Tagline tick “Display Header Text”.
