May the Forced Perspective Be With You

Forced perspective photography can be great fun.  The technique uses optical illusion to make something appear larger, smaller, further away or closer than it really is.  If you have seen only one example then it will probably have been someone making it appear as it they are pushing or holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa (or perhaps the Eiffel Tower, which always comes a close second). So here are twenty examples of forced perspective to give you some amusement before you go back to what you should really be doing (studying, working or shopping but perhaps you could just grab your camera and try a few of these out).

There are numerous naughty examples of forced perspective, but this is the cheekiest you'll get here today.

OK, we couldn't resist it.  Let's hop over to Italy for one final picture.  You have to say, at least, that the picture below is a little different!
