This should be interesting. I'm guessing a far off subject with a sunset is going to win. ;~p

No, people see that every day and because of that it doesn't convey a sense of distance very strongly. The best way to convey a sense of distance will be to take a photo of something less than 6 cubic feet at a distance of between 400 and 2000 feet, depending on the focal length used. Anything else will be a DNMC. And don't you forget it!

short distance is also distance ;-)

We'll be seeing quite some directional signs I guess. And a couple of couples sitting apart on a bench.

Any distance is a distance. Prepare for a flood of pictures of anything and everything.

I don't have a model, or the time but I think a really good idea for distance would be having a male or female holding a photo of a soldier. Either that or having an elderly man or elderly woman holding a picture of their deceased spouse. Just ideas that someone may like to use. Up for grabs if you'd like... :D
