Thoroughly intriguing Dave. Thank you very much, this is very useful information. Might be awhile before I use it but it is great to have.

It's amazing how you can trick the eye even when you know what's going on. I'll have to give this a try. Thank you so much! S-

Well done Dave.

Wondering now if the effect can be achieved with objects that are a part of an image acting as the frame?

Hi, Mike,
Are you referring to the compositional technique of "internal framing" or "frame-within-a-frame"? Indeed, an interesting question... and one to which I've admittedly given no thought.

I have approached the "Perspective Window" concept from ( to my mind) the basic and simplistic assumption that the effect of an image's inherent cues to illusory depth perception can be enhanced by imposing two strong "leading lines of perspective" by the act of appropriately changing the image's outline to provide them.

Can you post an example of what you mean so we are sure that "we are on the same page"?

Dave

Yes, exactly. I looked through my images last night on the chance that I might have an example, and played around with some clunky composites to illustrate the effect, without success so far. I'll keep trying.

When you find one...or a few...that look promising, maybe we could have a look-see?

Sure.

Do you mind if I use one of your images from above to illustrate what I am thinking? I have a couple of possible candidates from among my images I will post soon, as well.

I may be way off here, but I was picturing a tree branch running diagonally in the upper left of this image sw-ne, and a road running diagonally in the lower left nw-se.

I get what you mean.
Do you have an example?

Harder than I thought to find. It is forcing me to look at images in a new way.

These are probably not the best examples. I am thinking of the clouds and the shore as the two strong "leading lines of perspective" with the trees as the main subject.

Amazing, Mike!
I think your examples are superb! you have the diverging perspective lines emphasizing the greatest depth of distance!
And your suggestion...and your images are, likewise, making me see a whole new aspect to internal framing I had never considered, nor have ever read or heard about!

What a great insight...can't thank you enough!

Dave
