The perspective of an image can make all the difference. One such example is seen in this photo: an armadillo looks as if it is a visitor from another planet. Good use of vantage point is clearly seen here, and the result is "out of this world" (pun intended). This photo really shows off the ability to completely change our perspectives on something through nothing more then changes the location of the camera. I find that the use of vantage point in general is what separates photography from other arts: the ability to show how the real world can look so much different if we just change our perspective of the subject.
