I got some really great advice here yesterday on how to stop myself from ending up with wierd perspective effects because the camera was too close to the tall objects I was rendering.  I zoomed in the camera and then backed it off and it worked like a dream.

The problem is that I seem to have ended up with a scene which looks like a small model rather than a grand building (which was what I was after).  The water looks great but for some reason the building looks about 8" tall :(

Anybody got any advice on what might be causing it/how to get round it?  I'm not sure if it's something to do with my camera placement, the materials I've used (scaling of them maybe), depth of field settings or something completely different.

Originally the model was really pretty small, I made it massively bigger (the minarets are now nearly 700 high) which helped till I solved the perspective when suddenly it looked small again.

Any help would be really appreciated.
