And here is the 16mm image cropped to match the composition of image taken with the 50mm:

As you can see, in both the 50mm and the cropped 16mm images, the relative sizes and position of all the elements is the same.

As Thom Hogan says in this article, perspective depends entirely on camera position relative to the scene (point-of-view), and is independent of field-of-view.

Composition on the other hand depends on camera position relative to the scene and field-of-view.

I never wanted to admit this is true, but basically if we had 1000 or 10000 mp sensors, many of us would need one lens... the widest you like to use.
