My Version of Depth

After my previous post regarding depth in photography, I looked through some of the photos I had taken to determine whether I had really ever accomplished creating a sense of depth in a picture.   While there were a lot of photos that involved depth in various forms, I was looking to find one that shared a form similar to that found in the examples from the blog link in my previous post.  I found a picture that I had taken of a street with buildings on either side (below), while on a trip to San Antonio.  Though the vanishing point in this photo is not dead in the center, it is easy enough to see where it is located in the picture by following the converging lines of the streets and buildings.  Depth is also created in the picture by the illusion that the buildings in the foreground of the photo are larger than the buildings in the background.  In reality, all of the buildings were relatively the same size, but the perspective in the picture causes it to appear differently. Overall, I am really proud of this photo and I really think that I did a good job on creating a sense of depth for the viewer.
