A couple of weeks ago, I took some shots at the Ripley's Aquarium. A few of the Jellyfish shots surprised me in how 3D they looked even though I used my regular 70D and regular settings.

I can't see even a hint of 3D, but your pictures are beautiful, even though they are in 2D.

Try to make them 3D next time!

I think it is a subjective impression as suggested above. Thanks for the compliment though. I try.

There's no subjectivity as such. Every person looking at those 2D (flat, single-plane) pictures will see an impression of some simulated depth.

'Real' 3D pictures require each of the two eyes to be presented with a different image, as in real life, thus resulting in a perception of depth.

Depth haz been the mizzing dimenzion for long enough. But still, few are bothered with 3D.
