On Perspective


Railway
Originally uploaded by svimes
Perspective makes landscape photographs seem more three-dimensional. The viewer's point of view must lead his/her eye into the picture and the perception of the scene must then lead to something that pauses the viewer's gaze. This all may sound very formulaic and it is, but to deviate from the "norm" requires a very functional counterbalance to actually work as a composition.

In this shot I've attempted to create a natural illusion of a three dimensional space. The perspective is achieved through the usage of the railway as the element, which leads the viewer's gaze. How do you feel about "rules" on creating a perspective?
