Crossed legs and a stroller.

Today we will be looking at some oddly proportional illusions. These illusions exaggerate certain proportions through their visual layout. Let's look at a few of them. Here to start us off we have the "cross leg" illusion. This illusion depicts a woman who is crossing her legs, but something seems to be quite off. See if you can catch it.

                       It may not be easily found, but the crossing of her leg is greatly distorted. We see that her left leg is behind her right leg, and her right leg is seemingly coming out of nowhere when looked at closely. Her left leg has her big toe positioned to the left side, which we know is completely wrong. Her right leg carries her right toe to the right side. Basically, she has backwards feet. You can find the unmodified picture here.

               Next comes the stroller illusion. Is the stroller above the ground, or positioned flatly? Well, the stroller is above the ground. We can infer this from the position of the shadows, as being flat would draw the shadows closer. When looked at from a certain angle, it appears the stroller is above the ground, and is a very deceiving illusion. It makes you wonder, were these pictures taken from a very precise position to trigger the illusion? Or were they simply modified using an easy program like photoshop? All in all, these illusions carried some weird effects to them.
