Unless there were extremely tall structures in the image, like very tall skyscrapers, my guess is most people would probably have a hard time telling the difference between two images if one was taken at 90 degrees, and the other at 88 degrees.

The source of the image I posted doesn't specify an angle, it could also be 88 degrees for all I know.

Looking at that area on Google Earth, and using a 9 stories building as a reference, it looks like that photo was taken with the camera making a 63.6º angle with the vertical, but my trigonometry may be wrong.

Are you talking about this photo?

Did you account for the fact that GE often uses different imagery at different resolutions?

I didn't analyze the photo yet, but my impression is that one is not taken at 90 degrees, but I also didn't think it was as far as 26 degrees off, but I suppose it could be and if it is that disputes the statement about it being a "top-down" view as that's a significant deviation from 90 degrees.
