bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Forests Near or Far View

I thought a FAR view was really a setting made to look far away... What I mean is for instance, you will maybe have a big rock with several tiny trees on it, giving the illusion of distance. I have also seen vastly oversized pots used to give the illusion of space... I have never seen a composition with the largest trees in the back... I have seen 1 or 2 good ones with 1 smaller tree up front or so... I am a little lost why having small trees up front would give the illusion of distance...
