Engine Room Minor Illusion

User called Wendell sent in this photo few weeks ago. If you read carefully what he wrote, and open this picture in full size, you will see a neat optical illusion – at least it amazed me! Wendell: “I cropped this image for my web sight, and found it funny that the photo no longer appears rectangular. It’s not much of an illusion, but I thought of your site when I saw it. Does the photo appears larger on the right to you?”

  1. I agree with ‘no name’ on this one. This isn’t an illusion at all. I think it’s better to not post anything than to post something that’s not even a cool picture, let alone an illusion.

  2. This is actually one of the better ones recently. Can somebody please explain how this is not an illusion? It certainly looks bigger on the right… it isn’t, so by definition it must be an illusion. Plus it has the added bonus of being a high quality image for a change :P

  4. Hey, if u don’t have anything to contribute then don’t degrade.
    People take effort to do this , and i hate ppl saying bad thigns abt this , who jus sit the bums in a chir and scroll down and watch……………

    If you dont appreciate then keep it to yourshelf…….The whole world dont need to noe , you aren’t that imporatnt any ways….

    Good illusions Keep it up webmaster!

  5. Oh, come on. He said right in the title that it was a minor illusion, and it is indeed a minor illusion. The pic does look wider on the right. Minor, but it does qualify.

  6. 4 all u out there that think a minor illusion that is very subtle is stupid, you need to learn respect for a higher mind and acceptance range than your own!

  7. so, cool!
    It looks like the size of picture is bigger on the right side.
    I measured, and its the same size.
    Can’t believe my eyes…

  8. Yeah…it doesn’t look any wider on the right side than on the left no matter how I look at it. It’s just a rectangular picture…

    I dunno…guess it would be cool if my eyes were seeing what other people were.

  9. ya…This one is pretty easy to spot…and it happens when objects in the picture are angled differently and have horizontal lines.
