Nice shot looks like a cheese grater. Have you tried one of your B&W conversions.
The older I get the faster I was.

Have you cropped the image deliberately so the line of the windows runs more or less vertically, whereas the perspective runs diagonally bottom left to top right. I find myself not knowing which to follow.

Thanks dave, I have tried a B&W image, but i'm more happy with this colour version.

Like this one Paul, they look like cogs to me and I love cogs of all types but covered in grease they are at their best. Would they mind do you think

Nice one, the composition holds us well within the image. It's always difficult to know where to crop with these and you've got it just right.
Best regards, John

Can anyone else see the optical illusion it creates?
To me it looks like the top-right hand corner is stretched diagonally up and right, making the top look like it's slanting up a little from left to right, and the right side slanting out to the right a little.

Definitely! I went to an exhibition with a finnish artist the other day, Ola Kolehmainen. Google him for similar pictures and "op art" for artists playing with perceptual illusions.Can anyone else see the optical illusion it creates?

I saw the optical illusion, so much so I had to check the dimensions to see if it was. I really love when things like that happen.

Thanks, guys.
For the record, no distortion has been applied to this image. I'm not into doin' that sort of thing.
Regards.

Marvellous shot, exactly as I like it. I agree that the colour version does look very good and I can well imagine that in the b&w version you loose a bit of it's appeal.
Well done!
