From inside France's courtyard, the Eiffel Tower looks great.
But like many forced perspective illusions, the illusion breaks from other viewing angles, OR, only goes so far.
Mt. Everest looks fantastic until the coaster climbs next to it and you have to wonder if those mine cars are each 200 feet tall to look so big next to the mountain.
Projections of the Tree of Life Awakening, which look fantastic from the correct angle, look hilariously distorted if looked at from the side (easy to do with the projections on the back).
Unless you have complete control of the viewing angle and what else comes near the illusion, then the illusion will never be perfect. Sometimes, then, 'good enough' is good enough.
