Apologies if you somehow were offended by this. I was simply pointing out to the OP, who I assume does not understand the unique characteristics of a UWA, the effect that this type of lens has. Unless you have experience with it, it's unlikely you would guess the dimensions being shown.

If you prefer, I can use my Death Valley shot above - the middle of the frame (looking top to bottom) is probably about 3 feet away and the black hills at the top left are probably 50 feet way.

I save my photo critiques/commentary for Photosig.
