What Do You Think?

"Oh, how powerfully the magnet of illusion attracts."
                                                              -Gutzkow






 What is it about optical illusions that we find so intriguing?   I was inspired for these shots by an image I had come across online.  I can't decide which direction is most successful?  Is it more interesting when the subject in the frame is out of focus or in focus?  You be the judge.

    hmm i LOVE them all and that is hard to decide which illusion is better.. if i HAD to choose i would have to go with the people in the frame out of focus, and the kids (or whomever) holding the frame in focus. keep up the wonderful work jessie!

    First one I like best, but would like both to be in focus.
