Distorted views
Distorted views and perspectives have been used in art and photography for a long time. The manipulation of the size and shape of objects (or faces, for that matter) can be creative, revealing or funny. This cherub, taken with a 10mm fish-eye lens at very close range, is totally out of proportion and, yet, it is pleasing to the eye. The point I wish to make about distorted views is that they can be acceptable and unacceptable. It is unacceptable when the distortion is not acknowledged or, even worse, when distorted views themselves are regarded as normal. In the latter case collective madness would be in charge. Fuji X-E3.
