That statement is, “I’m going to find whichever rat bastard decided to string that wire right there and slap him.”

No, you can’t stand closer to or farther away and have the same perspective, except possibly via trickery with a tilt-shift lens while also being able to run faster than the rangers when carrying a stepladder. The potential of rappelling off of the rock face opposite while packing a long zoom lens is likewise left as a thought exercise for the reader.

Bonus picture of the same edifice, but from a more convenient but also more hokey perspective:

I have no idea who the woman in the stripey sweater is. I assume she went around all day with her face looking like that.

    And just to irritate the auteur - personally, I prefer buildings taken at a slight angle to give a greater sense of depth. So in that sense, I prefer your bonus picture (and so would instead be cursing the tree within the fenced areas rather than the wire).

    But if that’s arched windows in the far side of the church being framed by arched windows on this side, then I can see why you want a shot from right where you took it (or at least on a straight line in 3D space that only gets close to the ground where you were) - it adds a “not immediately spotted interesting feature” which is a good thing.

    Also personal taste, but I might have tried playing with the luminance histogram (or whatever your tools call it) for the RAW format, if I had it, and brighten up the stone work without blowing out the sky.
