+I can see thirteen mistakes in the picture, I believe!!! The most obvious mistakes are the enourmous man on the mountain and the bird in the trees.They are too large compared to their surroundings. These two mistakes just made me laugh. The sign with the half moon is hidden behind the bushes, which seem to be growing in size as they become further away. The two buildings seem to be separate, but the sign is contected to both of them. The horizon line is unclear and the church looks like it is in the water. The swans are noticebly larger than the boats and the people in them. The horses are smaller than the man in the boat that is shooting at the bridge? The sheep should diminish in size as they get further away, but the opposite is seen in this image. In the front of the picture the man's fishing pole is in the water somehow, the barrels are not sitting correctly on the ground, and the ground which he is standing on is not correctly drawn. The whole perspective of the image is off. This was interesting to look at after learning about perspective.

I can see thirteen mistakes in this image. The building in the foreground is seriously distorted, appearing as if it is two distinct buildings (but in fact we see that the two stories are connected by the signpost). The lines of these two stories are converging towards drastically different vanishing points, which they shouldn't be. The half-moon sign dangled by the signpost is partially obscured by two trees that are supposed to be far in the background. Also a bird in these far-away trees is far too large, appearing the same size as one of the smaller trees! A man on this hill in the background is also far too large for being so far away. Also, the trees appear smaller as they get "closer" to the viewer in the image, which is the opposite of how they should be, and the animals in the foreground- I believe they're sheep- also appear to be diminishing in size the closer they get. The tiles the man in the very foreground is standing on are off, and he's casting his fishing pole into the pond far behind him, which is way, way off! Two of the barrels directly behind him are also skewed; the viewer shouldn't be able to see the top AND bottom of these barrels all at once. The man in the water under the bridge appears to be shooting the bridge, which is odd, and he's far too large in comparison to the horses directly above him on the bridge- at least twice their size. The swans are also too large relative to their surroundings, and the boat in the background shouldn't be bigger than the one in the foreground.

I am seeing all of the same mistakes as Shannon except for the barrels. I am having a hard time findig how the barrels are off in the image. Otherwise I thought it was pretty intersting to look at. I would probably have not noticed these mistakes before learning about perspective.
