Illusionary Doors

I thought that these doors on a converted garage caused an optical illusion when one concentrates on them. Does it do that for you?

Could almost make you dizzy! They are neat though. LInda S

They do look weird if you look at 'em for too long. Beautiful woodwork.
Helen Betts05-Oct-2012 20:17
A very interesting illusion, Vern. Well spotted and captured!
Martin Lamoon05-Oct-2012 19:24
Excellent find. I see many things, the longer I look at it! V

Whomever built the doors was skilled at carpentry.
Laura Milholland05-Oct-2012 17:03
Very nicely shot, and I do find it intriguing. ;)
Hernan E. Enriquez05-Oct-2012 17:02
Yes! The illusion is there!!!
GGreat shot Vern!
Guest 05-Oct-2012 15:03
Yes,
Nice image of these odd doors...

Beautiful wood work. This certainly has an interesting 3-D effect.

no optical illusion for me, but really beautiful doors...V

If Orcs had garages, I think they would look like this.
Steve Thuman05-Oct-2012 14:07
How did you get the fisheye to be fisheye just on the doors? HA HA sure are great doors!
Jack Hoying05-Oct-2012 13:30
Those are really cool! Definitely custom made. Looks like a space portal from a sci-fi movie.
Jim Coffman05-Oct-2012 13:18
Wow, this blows my mind!
Ruth Voorhis05-Oct-2012 13:09
They appear to be convex. Unusual and well seen, Vern.
Ann05-Oct-2012 12:39
It certainly does Vern. How interesting. Great catch.
Guest 05-Oct-2012 12:24
Great eye Fotobug. The contrasting woods and play of light seem to flip flop the symmetrical halves of this doorway. V++
Aaron M05-Oct-2012 08:43
That's awesome! Someone has a great creative sense here :)
graham 05-Oct-2012 07:39
Vern these are strange looking doors
Bea.05-Oct-2012 06:53
Nice doors, looks like they bend outwards.
Chris Cochems 05-Oct-2012 06:38
Lovely shot, Vern, but I don't see an optical illusion.
joseantonio05-Oct-2012 06:29
Very nice work with this one...v.
Mary Bowles05-Oct-2012 06:13
I see a Viking head-piece.
Beautiful work and even the side windows have similar elements.
What a find.

Ciao Vern,
Paolo
