Final #2 (Six Monocular Depth Cues)

 Lighting and Shading: I see shading underneath the left side house where the deck is blocking the sun. You can see the shadow underneath both sides of the home.
Size Difference: I see "smaller" trees as they get further in the distance. While they are not actually smaller, they appear smaller because they are further away.

Texture Density: I see texture density specifically in the wood floor. This is where you can actually see that the wood looks like real wood and not just straight slabs.

Occlusion: The tree here appears, in the image, to be blocking the home, but in reality, it is simply in front of the home.
Atmospheric Perspective: The rocket appears to stand out more than the message board in the back which tends to blend in and be less clear.
 Linear Perspective: As the flags get further away, they appear to be smaller, when in reality they are the same size as the flags that are in the front of the image.

Khan Academy: Was the most user-friendly and easiest to use of all three by far.
Learn Street: Did not really enjoy as was more difficult than the other two programs. Not as user-friendly.
Code Academy: Enjoyed the tutorials given in this program. Helped a great deal.
