I wasn't sure how to post, so I'm trying it this way too. This picture is obviously two dimensional because it is on the flat plain of a photo. However, it conveys great depth and vastness because of how the clouds relate to the horizon.
This is an image that clearly displays vantage point. Seeing the image from the child's point of view, looking out into the open space gives me the sense of eagerness and adventure that Ian Francisco seems to be going for: http://deepcut.com.ph/images/20081104152554_eager%20stillness%20broods%20over%20the%20realm%20of%20boyhood%20dreams.jpg
This is kind of another silly example: http://www.titletrakk.com/Images/musicians-artists/reach-out-hand-300.jpg
http://photophys.com/photophys/resource/17Sundew7Johnson.jpg is spacial hierarchy showing how the bug and the water is more important to the photographer than the grass.
Here is a photo that exemplifies both flatness and spatial hierarchy--the sharp contrast to the sky gives a sense of flatness, while two trees give a hierarchal nature to the photo.
This photo is a good example of spatial hierarchy, using vantage point as well as subject matter to achieve a tension between the two subjects at hand--the old, and the strikingly new.
This photo is a good example of vantage point, most specifically flatness. The distance of the photographer gives the photo a sense of immense size--but at the same time, the washed-out grey tones of the photo, and the lack of objects in the foreground contribute to the flat nature of the image.
Vantage point- while this photo is of a bride preparing for her wedding, you would not necessarily know that from merely looking at the image. Rather, the photo is focusing on her forehead and eyelashes as the photographer shoots from above.
I think this is a really interesting example of spatial hierarchy- it is another wedding photo, but rather than focusing on the couple the photographer chose to focus on the plant in the foreground (maybe symbolic of budding love? or maybe that's just a cheesy idea).

I couldn't get blogger to let me make a post any other way.
