This image has captivated many people with its excellent shooting ability. It is difficult to tell which of the two buildings is closer and closer. While some say the brown building is the building in the front, some others say it is the other building in the front. This post is going viral on Reddit. One user explained: “It’s definitely a confusing image, but when you pay closer attention to the building on the left and right and how they overlap, it’s pretty clear that the building on the right further back than the building on the left”. and the explanation was upvoted 896 times. Another user explains: This is one of the best explanations I’ve ever seen. My first impression was ‘right’ but then I quickly realized it was ‘left’ but even then, buildings appeared one after another in the foreground. I have to look at the edge of the building on the right where it leans (to the right), which is smaller than the edge of the building on the left, to force the image to stay still in my head. Optical illusions often use size cues to deceive the eye. Buildings that appear larger in photos are often perceived as closer, while buildings that appear smaller are often perceived as farther away. Look at the relative sizes of the buildings mentioned.
If one building overlaps another or partially obscures it, the building in front will likely be closer. Pay attention to any visual occlusions in the image that indicate which building is closer. Darkness and light can provide clues about distance. A building with a more pronounced shadow or lighting effect may be closer because objects that are further away tend to have less obvious shadows due to diffuse light. Which answer do you think is correct?
