Re: Blue Ridge Mtn. Wildlife

Dave: I see an image with good potential for stereoscopic 3d content.

I had two impressions upon first viewing the pair.  1. there was some kind of uncomfortable misalignment.  2. there was precious little, if any, actual 3d visible.  I tried both "cross-eyed" and "parallel" free viewing the pairs.  This reinforced my perception of little to no 3d.

Then I went on to read the remainder of the discussion so far.  It seems you converted this from a flat photograph?

In my years as a 3d photographer, I've found that nature subjects - especially macro or close-up - are especially well suited to benefit from true stereoscopic image capture and display.  It follows thus that 3d conversion of such imagery can be especially disappointing: as we notice the "fakeness" of the depth, structural complexity, textures, reflectivity, semi-transparency, etc.  even if they are rendered fairly well.   (which in this case they are not).

I encourage you to try your hand at creating a true stereoscopic image.  You'll obtain much greater satisfaction!   It's not that hard to do, even when using only one single-lens camera.
