What this is is a light, the shade is the black square with a blue, glass insert, the bulb was a halogen light, with a cube cage around it, the lines did not really show when the light was on but shadowed when shot with the camera.
The light fixture was at the end of a hallway.
Post processing was align, and crop.
The illusion was that if you moved your head the blue square acted like it was floating around and the center light circle played tricks like expanding and contracting.
If you really saw the light fixture in its area you would never really know that the lines were there until you took the picture. I shot it because I just wanted the little black square with the blue center piece.

Pattern has to have a special place.

Interesting shot. Very artistic, I like it.

I must be daft - I don't see the illusion :( I've sat and stared for quite a while now, I have to move on to the next. ... Third time around, I've sat and stared for a few more minutes. Whatever the illusion you have caused me to view your photo longer than any other in the challenge, bumping up your score!

Good idea but it looks like a pic of a piece of paper?

Not sure what this is, but it has nice lines, and the spot of blue is a nice touch.

Yes, it is an illusion. Also very elusive.

Strange, but beautiful effect. Circle of light seems to change when I get closer.

As I move back and forth, the area of illumination grows and contracts. Is that the illusion I was supposed to see?

A very cool optical illusion, it has movement.

I'm not certain what the illusion here is, but every time I blink the image seems to move a little. Is that it? I'm curious about how you did this.

the center reminds me a of semiconductor chip on a circuit board, nice abstract
03/12/2009 07:24:05 AMPost actions
Interesting abstract. I can see it in an gallery. For me it needs more contrast on the black so the white really pops but its still nice.
