This is a website header picture I found from iDesign UK. This one shows a great amount of depth and just by looking at it, you can see the "distance". SIZE/SCALE is a big factor here as you can see that the outstretching arm is very big in comparison to its environment which gives us the impression that it is very close to us. Then as your eye follows the direction of the arm, it looks like it is shrinking or getting smaller. You can also tell that the arm is closest to the viewer because it overlaps everything else including the clouds and the whole landscape. Even though the arm appears to be receding in size with the hand being very small relative to the top of the shoulder, the clouds in comparison to the hand are roughly the same size or even smaller which indicates it is very far away. In this picture, depth also works with DIRECTION as obviously pointed out by the outstretched diagonal arm which seems to be directed or pointing towards the top right or center of the picture. Relative height is also used clearly here especially with the presence of the landscape's horizon as reference despite the angled viewpoint of the shot. The hand, which is above the horizon appears farther from us, and overlaps the space of the sky. The elbow and the upper arm is placed below the horizon where they overlap against the shore. On top of that, TONE is present as you see stronger tones and contrast on the arm especially in detail on the holes of the sleeve on the arm. The background which is made up of the sky and the water have little contrast of tone and appear blurred or vague thus indicating it is at a distance.
