9........ highbrow picture........ ".......study" would have been enough title for me.

I'm not seeing the illusion the title refers to, and I'm afraid I don't know what Gestalt means (little help from title for me) Nice patterns, but kinda low on the wow scale. 6 Swash

Great idea! I love the warm yellow tones and the lighting here. The rack and the shadows of the coat hangers are great shapes. I feel like I'd prefer the image to be framed a little further to the right though, to cut out some of the door and include all of that last coat hanger. The way it's cropped creates lines that lead my eyes out of the photo, I think.

On the first run through of these shots I didn't really realize that there was a mirror. I like the shot, it is a little too yellow for me though.

This is a simple, yet very effective illusion - it took me a few seconds to work it out when I first saw it. The colours seem a bit muted, especially those of the coat hangers, but I'd be curious to see whether converting to b&w would help it. Oh, and good utilisation of the new aspect ratio rules :o)

Almost looks like 2 clothes hanger racks with a wall between the 2. I can see though, that it looks like 2 clothes hanger rack, and a mirror on the wall? It is an interesting abstract. The pattern is good, color is good, and focus and clarity are good. Also, the angle and framing/cropping are well chosen. The lighting look a bit strange, maybe cause of the shadows, but it's not really a bad thing at all, as it inhances the patterns. Overall nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

I like the mirror - wouldn't have seen it if not for a tiny difference in lighting.

Very nice composition. The more I look at it, the better I like it. Seems like it could have been just a wee bit tighter focus. DPz

Nice clean shot. I like the trickery you have here. The only thing that bothers me is the right most hanger being cropped off. Other than that, nice job.

I like the still life here, but that door really bugs me. I do like everything else about it, The color is good and the subject is good.

Nice colors here. I think I finally figured out how it was done. (takes me a while sometimes) The size of the photo reallys adds to this. = 8

Neat. I don't like the yellow walls though. White walls would have made the overall feel of this picture a bit better I think. The illusion works great. At first glance I though there was a dividing wall between two hanger racks, but it's clearly not after looking at the picture for a few seconds. I like the size of this picture, it suits it well. Nicely done.

Nice shot, but I don't see the gestalt in it. I dunno. Good job. Jacko 7

Neat shot. Too bad the door frame is ther. Like the color, composition, light and focus.
12/09/2002 02:50:45 PM
LOL...I really had to look twice at this. It's unfortunate that the door is there...otherwise this would be a much better illusion. The shapes of the hangers and the rack are very strong and anchor the photo, though.

Beautiful shot. Love the color, the shapes, the simplisity.10

Mirror. Cool shot.

Love the concept and colors. Imo, the door takes away from an otherwise great image. 7
