nice, well done

Amazing ! A true optical illusion ! Is hypnotic.My head is turning.
Did you try it with something else than cogs ? The color is important ? I'm not a good photosopper but i will try to reproduce it with another photo, roots or something like that.

thanks a lot both of you..and billyboy I have discovered that anything with radial blur(zoom) is brain scaring and cogs are additional illusion...you can try with anything,,..but the pointy teeth of cogs..got fully set with the zoom blur and created a better brain scaring photo..

Fun idea. I wish you had followed the horizontal flip with a vertical flip, however, so the final result wouldn't have quite such a mirrored-halves feel. (BTW there's a white-line edge issue where the top two cogs intersect.)

nice entry........... all the best to u ................

Look at the center of the image, then you move your body forward and backward... it's really crazy!
Very well done, author!

thanks for your comments...and erica I was experimenting with it and I turned off all the room lights and watched it full screen ......I have seen cogs everywhere after 5 minutes ..and the dizziness oh god ... .am not gonna try it again.

nice work.....

nice

and where is the illusion at?

dandesign... the two birds are Identical, the gradients make them look different.. yet if you moved them over each other they would blend right into each other (good Luck author)

that's not an optical illusion, after my knowledge

illusion: An erroneous perception of reality

The erroneous Perception.. the two birds are different, the reality, they are exactly the same

Thank you for the help Ernest.

u gave me the meaning of illusion... not optical illusion ) whatever ... lol

optical illusion: A visually perceived image that is deceptive or misleading.

Perceived image is two different birds... the deception is that they are exactly the same... and that's your English Lesson for today young man.. Now go out on the Jungle GYM and have a blast.. hehe

I got to admit, I don't really see an optical illusion either...

I've seen an optical illusion like that before, it was two squares appearently of different colors. But actually they were equal! It's very mysterious, like your work, author! Nicely done, and GL!

It's an optical illusion alright.

An SBS displaying the two birds on a white background might help dispel the confusion.

good luck

very nice work author,but i don't see this as an illusion...any how,good luck to u...

i agree with you erathion do you know how to delete a picture ? Thanks

because i think it's out of theme, in fact there is no optical illusion in it ! thanks to delete this pics.

you don't have to delete it.. you could simply replace it.. just go to MY STUFF..>>> My Contests and hit the edit entry and replace it with a proper illusion.... good luck!!! (is is a pretty pic by the way)

good luck

excellent ! perfectly on theme ! so good

Ouch - my eyes! Can't stare at this one too long - will get a headache... very well done

amazing. very nice. my eyes are watering! :P

How on earth did you create this and not go blind in the process. Great work I love optical illusions. GL

great work on theme illusion............... all the best to u author ...........

great job.... good luck

close you eyes and sphererise? spelling.
nice idea and it do work. Good luck Author

Cool stuff...good luck

nice

very good

nice idea , i would suggest adding real flowers instead of the other "smoke-like" things you made though, good luck !

yes I've seen something that looks like it before too but it's not working. What I would suggest is working on the faces so that they better make up the vase because right now they don't. Try using liquefy to better shape the faces so they also look like a vase. And just loose the smoke. Just tryin' to help.

Get rid of the hair...

yup, the hair is really ruining it. that smoke thing also.

Thanks for all the comments. But i cudn't upload the corrected version on time. Thanks anyway, the comments were very much helpful

brilliant...

good luck

nice entry ..... all the best ..............
