The remove of visual cues can introduce a size ambiguity that can be engaging, for a “double take” at what might seem to be an ordinary image at first glance.

The right subject and lighting along with the right perspective and focal length are what makes it work, turning a vanilla subject into one that keeps demanding another glance.

Wide Angle Perspective for Ambiguous Size

Includes a 2nd image to show the surrounding scene, which itself has some ambiguous visual arrangement.
