Even a flat photograph can give a good subjective impression of depth, containing as it does a number of visual cues to the depth in the subject matter. These include relative image size of objects at different distances, image overlap, geometrical perspective and shadows, modeling, and texture. To this, we can add (in a stereoscopic pair of images) the result of binocular perception, that is, parallax.
