Re: Stupid question: where does the illusion of 3D come from?

So in this instance, did the flat background lighting and the varying colour intensity across the jellyfish's body create the illusion? I have since asked a few more people and each perceived the effect to a different degree so, to some extent at least, it does appear to be subjective.
