Cheers,
...Did they really make a hole ion the floor or is that a "tromp l'oeil"?
Hi guys,..The fellow in the hole and the hole appear to be a tromp l'oeil painting on the floor. As such, it probably isn't very meaningful when viewed from anywhere but the camera position...
Hi Winston,...P.S. I did notice the faint watermark.
Hi Winston,
I have only recently started using watermarks in my images. I am very curious as to what the lookers think about them. Is it bad or OK and how can it be improved?
Cheers,
Thanks Nicolas. I know that the watermark can be cloned out easily but since it is very unobtrusive, most web thiefs will not even bother to do that. And if they do, I can't stop them as you've rightfully pointed out.Hi Cem
Nice shot!
I have seen on the web some similar work made by a guy on street sidewalks, I have to dig and post here if I can find some pics…
As for your ©, it is very delicate and non obstrusive for the viewer… on this picture it would be quite easy to clone it out, but then the cloner would know that he's a thief (which do not make any difference for you! stolen is stolen…:-(
Anyway, I like the way you did.

Hi Nicolas,
Here's one of the better ones, Julian Beever, with a number of Anamorphic projection (same effect as ultra wide angle stretching near edges) examples:

Here's an example, viewed from the only correct position, and then from another (same effect as e.g. speed limit numbering on the road):

I guess I didn't get to bed soon enough ;-)Hi guys,
It is not a tromp l'oeil, there is actually a hole in the ground and a very 3D, real-like wax person peering out of that hole.
The artwork is by Maurizio Cattelan (Padua 1960), Untitled, 2002. It is a part of the permanent collection at Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam.
Cheers,
Don't worry Winston. I pay a lot of attention to the details of my compositions and sometimes I am lucky to get multiple elements into their right places. In this picture, the main dark line in the floor goes from top left corner to the bottom right. The cube is seen exactly from the position which is an extension to the long diagonal which centers the top front corner with the bottom rear corner. The girl is sitting exactly on the cross line on the floor and her shoes are behind the left side of the cube. At the symmetrical opposite, we see the reflection of the shoes of another visitor. And the reflection of the light from the windows marks the diagonal of the top face of the cube. And to top it all, as you've noticed the darker line on the level below is perfectly aligned with the line in the floor, but that was sheer luck, lol.I guess I didn't get to bed soon enough ;-)
One of the details that led me astray is the dark line in the hole that is aligned with the one on the floor.
but that was sheer luck, lol.
