How to Create Forced Perspective in Still Life Photography

except not straight the cut wasn't perfect...thanks for the idea though!

The carpet should be turned the other way around. Normal perspective would make what's in the distance look progressively smaller, not larger (the rectangle looks wider in the distance), and since the little cup object in the front appears larger than the one in the back, it gives a really bizarre and unnatural perspective. So the slightly wider ends of the carpet should be in the front, not the rear.

@femobot it depends on personal preference and what you are trying to achieve. "really bizarre and unnatural perspective" was my objective in this case. But i like your idea too. making perspective go much farther then it actual is... thanks
