People Lend Perspective

I've often heard that including people in one's photos helps lend perspective. That's why I like this photo from Bryce Canyon.

(No PP -- this is the way it came out of the camera!)

Feel free to add your own!

You may be better understood by using the term "sense of scale". Prespective is usually interperteted as "point of view".

Nice photo, but would be better appreciated in a larger size. I couldnt see the people on my 20 inch monitor.
Your unsual view of the canyon makes it a bit more interesting.

Keep shooting.

Good point, Bob. I appreciate the proper use of language, and you are correct. Unfortunately, I cannot change the title of the topic. I can only appreciate your comment, and thank you for looking and taking the time to offer your perspective. ;)

Thanks, wilikioti. I had to download and view the photo on my screen, too. I wasn't quite sure how the people couldn't be seen.

I see them just fine. In fact, I see them on my 13" Mac laptop screen, too.

Thank you for looking and commenting.

I was going to make the same comment. Objects of known size (such as people) add scale, not perspective.

I would say, that rather than perspective, people add scale to a photograph. Most viewers are familiar with the height and width dimensions of all human beings. When included in a photo can instantly recognize, " oh, that`s a six foot person there, look at the grand landscape they are in ". Perspective is something else entirely, and there are numerous types of perspective. My two cents, Dennis
