Example 1: Castle on the Rocks

BEFORE SHOT:

The castle and the rock it was built on are centralised on the picture. It does not look as a the fortress it used to be but rather like a couple of building ruins. Additionally the perspective leaves little cues as for the actual size. Since there are hardly any visible orientation lines that lead up to it (apart from the partial but insufficient fence) distance and thus size are hard to imagine.

AFTER SHOT:

By a change in perspective, the rock now occupies the two bottom parts of the picture making it appear much more gigantic. The 'main building' of the castle is now also in one of the intersection points, putting it in a much more dominant position. This is also enhanced by choosing a lower point of taking the image, putting the building in an almost 'superior' position to the viewer. Furthermore the path leading up to the castle is now visible, so that distance and size of the rock can be much more realistically imagined and ultimatively the advantages of such a site during medival battles (because that is what castle were built for).
