It's all a matter of perspective

Four guys in a row | Bird's eye view | Triangulation | Leading lines

Black and white portrait format image shows a scene looking down a narrow city centre alleyway where the buildings are partly lit by bright sunlight. There are four men in the scene - there is the silhoutted shadow of one man sitting on a step and using his mobile phone in the bottom right, another in bright sunlight doing the same a short distance away, a third is standing in the shadows by the entry to the alleyway and a fourth can just be seen striding past on the opposite side of the street beyond the entrance to the alley. All four are tiny compared to the very tall buildings towering over them.
Black and white portrait format image shows a scene shot from high above a series of outdoor cafe tables and chairs, next to a sign for a jeweller's store. The tables are empty apart from a lone woman who is sitting at the very top of the scene. She has her umbrella on the table in front of her.
Black and white portrait format image shows a street in New York photographed from the High Line elevated walkway. There are cars moving slowly on the street and one is captured at the point where a shaft of sunlight has created a triangular patch of light so placed that it looks like it is emanating from the car. On the left of the scene is a long row of parked bicycles which are partly illuminated by the shaft of light.
Black and white portrait format image taken from a very low angle, with the camera almost on the ground, showing the converging lines of a short series of stone steps which lead the eye toward a skateboarder who is caught mid-trick in the air. His skateboard is spinning freely beneath him and his legs are split. A man on the right walking toward the camera is seen watching the skateboarder while other people can be seen in the distance going about their business in the city centre.

I like the one with the tables. Has an uncanny flatness and perspective.

@legocas Thanks very much, yeah you don't often see city scenes from that kind of perspective, it takes some adjusting to

@stevenlawson All of these are excellent. I particularly like the overhead shot with the tables - I can almost feel the cogs going around in my brain as I take it in and adjust to the perspective.

@SuspensaVix Thanks Andrew, it is confusing when you first see it!
