Tom, there is an underlying confusion that needs to be cleared up, I think.
Perspective is not an inherent physical property, it's a consequence of the way we perceive things.
In very very rough terms, our vision works by detecting light that it's emitted or reflected by an object. The light moves through space in straight lines, and hits our eyes at an angle. That way we know where in space an object is.
See the attached picture.
Imagine that you are laying down at ground level on Tom's porch.
Two meters over your head is a candle. You hold a hand midway between the horizon and the limit of your vision.
Let's assume a field of vision of 90° (it's smaller than in reality, but it's to avoid huge and almost empty pictures)
The red line is the ground.
The green lines are the light going from the candle in various positions to your eye (it's how we see things, remember?)
The red dotted line is the height of the hand
The blue dotted lines are the light going from the candle in variuous positions to your hand.
Underneath you can see your subjective point of view.
we move the candle forward.
point a
distance 2 meters, the candle enters your view, way above your hand.
The light of the candle strikes your eye at a 45° angle, and your hand at a 22,5° angle
point b
distance 10 meters. The candle is ca. level with your hand.
The light of the candle strikes your eye at a 12° angle, and your hand at a 6° angle
point c
distance 30 meters. The candle is way below your hand.
The light of the candle strikes your eye at a 4° angle, and your hand at a 2° angle.
All the time, the candle is above your hand. If you want its light to hit your hand at any negative angle you need to bend the light. You have confirmed in other threads that light doesn't bend. Ergo, case closed.
And if you think that that's bad, consider that the sun at the FE sunset, is actually at a 23°inclination, way above the 12° of the figure b in my diagram.
See why I wanted you to draw a diagram?
