    The sides of the image are straight.

    Is the left side of this photo taller than the right side?

    Thanks, and it wasn't even intended as an optical illusion! I took this photo above a few weeks ago of the surface of a parking lot, edited it, placed it up on my site, and only with a dark background and smaller size does it look that way. First time I viewed it that way it was... "wtf?"

    Thanks LV. I didn't think the sides would look like they were bulging when I took it...Just looking for an interesting abstract. Turned out better than I thought it would:D

    if i was to guess what rah's subject is,
    id say it was a shade/curtain of some form,
    perhaps even, sme sort of vesel?

    maybe.....
    looks like a giant air filter
    or a crazy tanning bed
    or a giant ruffled potato chip

    a polution controlling device from the future

    shiny new thoughts are recycled clatter



    down to my cell phone shooter,
    anyone have a decent early SD card digtal for grabs?

    ...Southern Indiana and Southern California lead to a very different experience.
