In case you're wondering: this is a shot of a photograph (of a bird behind the bars) beneath a ceiling (the bars at the top of the image) with a red wire running the bars.

You've explained it, but I'm still not sure what I'm looking at ~ (brain turned to mush, being at home all these years!!) Cool though - like an optical illusion. ;-)

I didn't wonder at all, I got it straight away. Not!
A great beguiling image.

Nice image. It takes some time to get, but I think I did (almost). The only thing I don't get is the red wire on the top bars. Why we can't see it in the gaps between the bars? Anyway, the bars from the photograph and the ones from the ceiling look very well together and seem to belong to the same "world".

What? No, sorry, I can't wrap my head about it. But it's a nice bird.

I'm still not sure how you shot this, but I really like it. Unusual, but very cool. Nicely done.
