Eh no. I think it has to do with the optical line that the cuts off the left side of the left picture makes our brain believe that its pretty straight. Now when you duplicate it and then put them next to one another it adds more angles kind of “opticly” (cant spell, nor do i really know what im talking about, just taking an educated guess) pushing the second building over. I’m sending a similar one that I made by googling towers. Not as good as this but it does KIND OF look different. Another 10 miniutes of work wasted.

Ok i did an experiment.

I put the pictures on Word and cut them up and rearranged them so I had 2 ORIGINALS side by side. Then I put 2 of the OPTIMISED FOR WEB ones side by side.

And whaddya know? they looked just as different from each other as the examples above. Even though they were the same version.

So that means that THE ONLY REASON THEY LOOK DIFFERENT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE NEXT TO EACH OTHER, not because they are actually different in any way.

must be a perspective thing.

Wow, if you cross your eyes on the first picture, you will see a stereogram!

at first and addressed to @ashleigh – the majority of the worlds population does not speak english as the first language, we have our own dialect – majority english! Show some respect, or learn our dialect, thank you.

secondly, i guess the house is standing in a slope so that the base of the right side (which we do not see) of the house is actually than the base of the left side. The ’tilting’ effect is then reinforced when we relate the right picture to the left picture. In other words, we assume that the left house is standing on even ground, but it is in fact standing on a slope, and when we compare a copy of the house with itself, then the effect is strengened. Does it make sense?

hi! i think i spot how the ilusion happens (please read carefully to dintinguish when im talking about the left/right tower of the church or the left/right picture):

the tower on the right of the church in the first picture is also inclined but in the oposite direction so when we put the same picture in the right, the tower in the left of the church gets side-by-side the tower in the right side of the church.

the effect is then amplified because we take the right tower as the leading vertical (or some middle invisible line between the two towers), wich is not the real vertical.

i used gimp (wich is linux similar to photoshop) to switch both pictures and the effect is absolutely the same. and if we are not sure the pictures are exactly the same, one can duplicate one of them side by side to get the same ilusion.

You don’t need to go to Photoshop to check it out. If you are able to do the ‘Cross-eye’ like you do when looking at stereo-images you can clearly see that they are identical
