 Designed a printed this well-known optical illusion, placed it under my spherical metallic tea-pot and chose my nikon 4500 (It doesn't cause any barrel or pincushion distortion at max zoom. very important in this picture!)

Well thats a difficult question when you´ve put 3D objects into 2D frame. I would say that at least some lines are parallel in this image.

This is very intriguing. I don't quite know what i'm looking at but I like what I see.
Very well arranged.

nice abstract, good use of border (size and color) dof adds to the composition, one of my favorites this time around

I like this one allot. I'm assuming that what I'm look at here is a reflection of the printed paper beneath? Great picture.

Such a great capture. The DOF is great and the color is wonderfully even. I really like your use of the border to pull out the grey and continue it, keeping the photo contained within itself.

I think this would have worked better with everything in focus because of the tones and shades.
