Venetian blinds. A nice study piece, but beyond that it doesn't hold a lot of my attention. It's a good piece for b/w.

You've got a good amount of detail in this image. However, it is the same details that cause me problems in the illusion. The Center is the place of importance pyschologically. The flawed paint is jarring in the center because it is not really that important. The shadows do give the illusion of stairs to a certain degree. My favorite part is the shifting vantage point that causes the shutters to appear to change angles. Overall, a strong graphic image with even more potential. 6

Stairs,shutters good question. infact I don't know what I'm looking at so it makes it hard to find an illusion.

Your title poses an interesting question,
Im sure you will answer this at the end of the week.

The lighting is good here, but compositionally I find that I want a point of interest in the image.

This is a nice, simple picture. It doesn't have a lot of interest appeal to me, but it isn't hard to look at either.

At first glance, I was sure these were shutters. But now, the more I study it, the more uncertain I become. Great idea!

Shutters or siding. Neat idea, but I'm not sure that it worked as well as it could have because of the lighting. The shadows make it obvious that they're not stairs - a slightly different angled light source would help the illusion.
