Dimension/Depth/Space/Scale

This is a photograph of a new Porsche 911 Carrera S; the different visual cues that are found within the photograph help contribute to the overall feel.  There is no linear perspective to show distance so we are forced to look at the different colors and textures that are overlapping each other.  When we look at overlapping textures we can see that there is depth.  Without depth or visual cues the photo would look flat and weird to our eyes.  The two plastic barriers and the Porsche are the closest to us for they are the biggest and they are on top of every other layer.  Following that layer is the concrete barrier and then the train, we can tell all of this because of overlapping.  Relative height is also important here; we see it between the concrete ground, the Porsche, and all the way up to the clouds in the sky.  This helps our eyes determine what is most important to look at, that’s why the first thing your eyes go to is the back end of that Porsche.  It is the brightest, biggest and most relevant feature in the photograph.
