Added explanation to depth of field

For the too narrow an angle of view means that objects are all nearly the same relative size and you lose the sense of depth. Look at the picture above in the post. At 300mm, The cans seems to be equal in size and without context on the background or adequate depth of field, the can looks like they are on the same plane, i.e. they are the same distance form the camera. This also explains the ground that looks smaller then you visited the stadium, the exact mechanics I am not sure but you can help yourself with some photos.

The links are quite useful; I see what you are explaining. But please help me with this text from the first link- too narrow an angle of view means that objects are all nearly the same relative size and you lose the sense of depth. Is this why the ground appeared relatively smaller when I visited the stadium? Consider this picture - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c7/… From this angle, I'll not be able to see whether the ball goes to the right or left of the batsman irrespective of whether I am in the stadium or watching by TV
