I caught this one in the flea market the other day.

I think it has a nice surrealistic feel about it, but maybe you just think it's weird. Let me know.

Thanks,

    Neat. The illusion would be complete if you could PS out the post (top of the pic and the shadow on the ground). Well seen, though.

    Thanks Awais. Good idea, Tristan. The post itself should be easy, but its shadow looks harder. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

    I took Tristan's advice thumb.gif. While I was at it, I got rid of the graffiti and tweaked the curves a bit.

    I didn't even notice the pole until someone mentioned it!!! Neat shot and I like how it improved after removing the graffitti and adjusting the curves. Great image! thumb.gif

    Thanks. To be honest, I didn't notice the pole in the pic either till Tristan pointed it out. rolleyes1.gif I even remember wondering what was supporting the door, when the answer was hiding in plain sight. So much for "seeing"...rolleyes1.gif

    cool.

    you have to leave the shadow to give it the illusion of it standing on it's own.
