| How about some good examples from past challenges that would fit this category. Are we talking about size, shape, angle or all of the above? |

I need some example, too. I have no idea how can I get the dramatic effect? What kind of perspective? Really, I have a lot of questions about this challenge.

I think, taking the challenge on face value, the best thing you can do is take a photo with an obvious vanishing point. Lines that lead the eye right to it will help, like train tracks, rows of windows, etc.
A non-literal interpretation could involve looking at something in a different light than usual... or putting something trivial "into perspective" by juxtaposing it against something more serious.

| How about Lonely Road by Imageloyola from the Road Signs challenge? Sorry I don't know how to make it link. |

To me, 'perspective' referes to the angle of the shot. As Lisae said, a vanishing point helps provide perspective, but I don't think it's required to create a high impact perspective photo... Choose a creative 'perspective' to show the viewer your subject :)

Go look at the "from the ground up" challenge... there are a lot of good perspective shots there... also, the Architecture challenge is full of them also...

Another thought comes from the Lord of the Rings movies. They used forced perspective to make a 6'3" actor appear to be a dwarf. It's not easy to do well, but worth an attempt.
I hope I haven't just spawned 200 "I'm crushing his head" entries :)

| Probably any shot that isn't taken from standing position, camera horizontal and about 6ft off the ground is going to have a more interesting perspective - just as a starting point. Get high up and shoot down on a subject, or lie on the ground and shoot up, that sort of thing. |

HERE is a segment of the AgfaNet photo course that deals with camera angle and how it can impact photographs... some very good reading...

This one fooled many. The subject in the front is 10cm high, the subject in the back about 1m. Most people didn't see that.
It was taken with me lying on the ground on a piece of cardboard and the camera groundlevel on the concrete. The pole in the back is only 2m high, not a power pole or telephone pole that the commentators believed it was. It holds two lines for hanging the washed clothes in the wind. :) I ROFL'd a lot.

I saw the difference in the bikes, but honestly kind of ignored the pole -- now that I go back and look at it I see that it mimics a power pole almost perfectly...
Moon and Foxtail is the photo I SHOULD have submitted to the Ground Up challenge. |

here is one I saw the other day. I hope the photographer from sig doesn't mind, but the perspective on this is awesome and the way he's done this creates a 3D look to it.

| That's a great shot. Unfortunately, general DPC rules don't allow the image to "break out of the box" like that; a technique I've used a couple of times before. |
