For this exercise, I chose one of the childrens' toys on the kitchen floor, to give a good contrast between the subject and the background. The sequence starts with an overall view of the train shot from a distance, before steadily moving closer. The focal length of the lens was kept the same throughout at ~50mm (35mm equiv).
The second image is the classic 'full frame' composition. Moving closer results in a more dramatic image, particularly image 4. Despite not showing the entire engine, the subject remains clear, leaving the brain to fill in the missing details.
This is the key learning point, that the implied image can be more captivating than the whole.
