In a way “Monsters”, “Soldiers”, “2 Monoliths” and “Perspection” Illusions work, this image has the same effect. You are aware that all three pairs in the picture below are of the same size, or aren’t you?

yeah especially the ones nearest us
uhhhh….
interesting but, the nuns on the bottom are highlighted and where they are standing is shadowed – dead give away for photoshop
Dead giveaway for photoshop? Somebody missed the point. :-)
YES, it’s a photoshop. Nobody is clever for figuring that out.
The illusion is that all three pairs of nuns are the exact same height, (in pixels). But their position on a picture that includes perspective makes them look like they’ve been scaled to different sizes.
Thank you! Colin for clarifying this to calico.
photoshop,they are all in the same position
Did anyone notice that the bottom nun on the left only had one leg?
Ah, St. Peter’s. I remember going to Rome in college and my friend had mailed me some acid in London. I sat where those nuns are frolicking penning gibberish into my journal and taking a series of photographs that tried to document a phenomenon only I saw. I can tell you the illusion was much more compelling than this one!
Not that I don’t love my illusion-a-day widget. Keep it up!
No, all the nuns have two legs, one that one the leg is just in front of the other, but you can see it. If you bother to look, each pair of nuns is identical to the other pairs – they are the same pair lifted to different parts of the picture to show how perspective changes size. If you take a ruler or whatever you can see all three pairs are exactly identical in dimension and everything else – that is the whole point of constructing the illusion.
Some people are under the misconception that if something is constructed rather than natural it is not an illusion. That is a totally false idea. While some illusions occur in the natural environment, a great many are constructed on purpose – yet they are still illusions.
omg the nun on the left has only one leg! it looks like a mermaid!
also, as well as the presepctive the darker coloured background helps the illusion. shut up about photoshop allready you idiots… read colin’s comment. like this its good. random subjects tho…
The nuns in front are smaller, I measured.
and whoever created this illousion could have made it more real
Hear, hear, colin!
i agree w/ colin and colico. HECK YEA ITS PHOTOSHOPPED.
i think u need 2 stop putting photoshopped stuff on the site. its a great site, but not if u put a bunch of photoshopped crap on it.
I agree with the anonymous near the bottom: they could”ve made it better. Especially because the nun in the back is a gigantic monster giant nun! Like three times bigger’n the person. It has to do with the size of the objects around the nun in case u guys didn’t know.
ARGH! I CAN SEE SOMEONE NEAR THE DUSTBIN!!! the real nuns are in da middle. i hav proof cuz:
1. They have a proper shadow
2. THE LADY NEAR THE DUSTBIN IS LOOKING AT THEM
the biggest nuns are floating!!!!!!
wake up you guys stop posting dumb comments
think
The nun on the left on all pictures has only one leg…
clearly photoshopped
No doubt, PhotoShop all the way. Maybe Paint.
Creatively it’s stolen from Status Quo’s ‘on the Level’. That was exactly the other way around.
(Do I sound dumb enough like this?)

you guys dont get it. this picture is *supposed* to be photoshopped. the illusion is that each of those pairs of nuns is actually the same size, your brain makes it seem like the ones furthest away are bigger, when in reality they are all exactly the same size.
The Anonymous poster in post no. 13 claims he measured, and that the nuns in the front are smaller.
Actually, I also measured, and they are the same size as the rest.
Neat illusion.
all of the nuns are exactly the same…
The nuns in right bottom are beint hit by light but they are in
A place with shadow.
if a bird that flies over the seagull then is a bird that flies over the bay a bay-gull?
