Landscape Depth

A landscape can be arranged in three distances: near, middle, and far. Making near things larger and far things smaller helps the picture look deep.

In the picture

  1. Badge 1 sits on the large tree trunk.
  2. Badge 2 sits on the red roof of the house.
  3. Badge 3 sits on the highest mountain peak.

Examples

  • A photo of a garden with flowers close, a fence farther back, and hills far away.
  • A drawing of a road with a big sign near, cars midway, and clouds behind.
