They sometimes make me feel ill.
I have to admit the moving spirals type illusion can upset my balance sensors. Visual dissonance can cause sea sickness type probs. But stationary ones bother me not.

Ye, it's a bit like motion sickness, Escher is fine.
Flickering light I think maybe???  triggers epileptic fits, or not.
I look away before things go awry.

I've had migraine, I think, and I think that might be relevant.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

I think a lot of it has to do with expectation. If you expect to feel a little queasy you might.

I'm going to extend the deadline to give a chance to those who'd really like to enter something but haven't yet. People are busier at this time of year, so perhaps another week or so.  :computerwave:

I think my brain has gone into hibernation (perhaps I should take that hat off?) - no inspirations at all. Doesn't help that I have not gone out further than the supermarket for weeks.

There should be some interesting perspective possibilities along the supermarket aisles.

I just seem to have lost the ability to observe - I have to make it a task on its own. If I go to town all thoughts of shopping, even my beloved book shop, have to be expunged. I find it very hard to concentrate. Researching, looking for a solution to abptoblem... things like that still come naturally, hold my concentration. Technical photography is a favourite. But in public places my attention is 99% on the people round me and I cannot switch it off.

Will try harder, but I need something different, that the chances of another finding is slim. I was never just a snapper.

I can empathize with what you are saying. I am also usually not a snapper. The downside is that I over-think and over-plan everything, which is probably quite clear when you look at my photos.

Thank you kind sir, I actually have mine ready, but since we have another week I'm going to wait to submit just in case I see something better...otherwise I'll send my stuff in by the 27th.

Here's another example of perspective:  ;D



I see it! :grin:

My six year old can see it. :grin:
I showed him the image with no words, asked him if he could see the two dinosaurs and he said, "Yes, (pointed), right there."
:yes!:

:secrets1: He doesn't know who they  :airquotes: really :airquotes: are.  :grin:
