Photographs with depth are much more pleasing to the eye. Depth adds dimension. Your eyes see in three dimensions, not two

xExperiment with different points of view
Know your Lenses and what they can do for you
Wide AngleAs the focal length becomes shorter in a wideangle lens, this perspective difference expands making closely located subjects even bigger and remotely located ones even smaller (exaggerated perspective).
Telephoto LensAs focal lengths become longer, less difference is observed between close and distant subjects, making it appear as if they are closer regardless of the distance between them(compressed perspective).
