You've rather lost me here Steve. If you look at the original and put it into the bubble knowing it's perspective then it's quite wrong.

But if you just look at the scene in the bubble per se feet aren't even visible and the true angle (to my eye) quite simply isn't apparent. It's so without depth or perspective that it seems to me completely ambiguous .... it could even be my back view.

Can you elucidate a bit?



The wide-angle view works when you're close up to the subject. But the image in your bubble is a distance shot, wide enough for two participants: there's no way you'd get that sort of distortion when the camera is that far away.

Yes I presumed that was what you meant. The funny thing is, I simply don't see it. What distortion? When I look at the figures in the bubble I am quite unable to see any disturbing distortion - they are perfectly acceptable to my eye. Yes, I know that in fact there is a distortion, because of pre-knowledge, but I don't perceive it because the flat silhouette has removed the necessary clues. I see nothing disturbing.

Hmmm ..... interesting ....... very subjective ........
