Marvelous Monday!
This will be a quick photo comparison post. It shows two pictures taken from two different perspectives. It is a table setting, not a house, but the concept is clearly demonstrated. It's all about angles and distance from your subject.
In September, I was in Miami working on the sale of my father-in-laws house. After a very long,
hot, rainy day, I finally got to dinner around 8:30pm. I was dining alone at a very eclectic cafe, The Peacock Garden Cafe, next to my hotel in Coconut Grove. By the way, if you are in the area, this is an excellent spot for lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch.

By the way, if you are in the area, this is an excellent spot for lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch.In this first shot, I was intrigued by the placement of the wine bottle next to the glass, the various shades of pink and the peacefulness of the setting so I snapped a picture.
After looking at it, I decided it needed something more, a different angle and a closer shot. This is the result. I made the glass the center of the shot. I haven't done any photo editing. The only thing I may do is blur the background a bit - tone down the orange umbrella and soften the greenery. I love the way the mood came through.
These two pictures show the difference you can achieve just my getting closer and adjusting your angle. At the time I took these pictures, photography as my primary business was not even on my radar yet. It is something I love to do, ever since my dad taught me how to frame a shot when I was only 7. I've been hooked ever since. I am so glad to have this comparison to explain the difference the angle of the picture makes. I can't wait to make similar comparison shots of properties!
