 While driving along a rural county road in S. Ontario, not far from the city of London, I came across a rather magnificent view of a house on the banks of the North Thames River, which winds through the area. The photo was taken from the bridge on the county road I was on, located at the base of a very steep hill.

Personally, I like how in this shot that the perspectives are sort of inverted -- in reality, the very big house appears very small compared to the river which itself is not that big, though it appears so in the photograph.

The house doesn't look small. Only in the perspective LOL WOuld have liked more contrast and a bump in the colour saturation.

I like how the river draws your eye through this photo. I think it would be even better if the perspective from a bit higher and the colors were a little more vibrant

Actually, this is a big house and small river and the perspective you used does make it seem to be opposite of reality. For this image to be more sucessful the foreground needs to be in better focus. You might also want to play around and increase the saturation a bit and maybe adjust the colors to tone down the yellows and bring up the greens.

Nice idea - the first attempt I have come across at showing perspectives on size. The colours are a little dull. House is nice and sharp
