| OK smarties, explain this one. I took the car from the source, and masked it. Then pasted it behind itself, it's further away but looks BIGGER. Then I pasted it in front of itself, it's closer but looks smaller. Explain that! |

It's an optical illusion based on the visual cues of the surrounding objects. We "know" that things farther away look smaller and closer = bigger. So our brains adjust in an attempt to compensate.

I did the same with this image (though I sized them). I also made a stretch limo out of it. Didn't post them.

There was another contest (with a bus front) that someone showed this same effect. I'll have to find it. BTW, the front of the car on the right needs some soft-brush erasing to blend the shadow to the ground.

I think it was granulated who did that tofu. I don't know if he entered it, or if it was a thread though.

Would look better if you fixed the view through the driver's side window of large and small vehicles. ...house and pavement.

Julie, this is a fantastic illusion, however I agree with burning couch that you really should clean up the driver's side windows on both extra cars. Its very easy to do, (i did it on mine), PM me if you'd like and I'll show you how its done.
