Have you ever posed for a photo, or choosen a landscape or some object to photograph, and then, after you look at the photo, you realize that something is wrong? Sometimes, what we photograph seems to be defying the laws of nature.

It's all about the perspective, of course, and being in the right place at the right time. In this way, using tricks of perspective, we can end up photographing a man with the legs of a child, a giant who fills a tiny courtyard with his head and capturing objects that float in the air as if by magic. Take a look at the photos below!

Perhaps you don't see anything strange here at first ... but in this photo, there is a sandwich. The slices of wholemeal bread on the sandwich, in fact, blend in perfectly with the marble of the counter, and it is only if you follow the joint on the marble tabletop fromthe corner, that you will find the ghost sandwich!

"The perfect pickpocket" is the title of this photo. But can you work out the real position of the long, red arm?

"Mr. Tiny Legs". This is just another of those cases in which you find yourself looking at the photo at least twice to understand how this bizarre composition came about.

The person who uploaded this photo online commented: "I was a little shocked when I looked up." The dog, on the other hand, took it in his stride.

Nothing seems strange in this photo, until we learn that "it's not an empty picture frame". It is in fact a mirror, and the position of the arm gives it away!

Have you ever happened to photograph curious images like these?
