Hi, Tony,

Here are two similar, but different transformational treatments of the same original image (graciously contributed by Lawrence Smith) that have generally been well-received by my usual referees ( fully able and competent free-viewers by either technique, but, of course, each has his or her favorite one).

It was α 50-50 wash as to which yielded the “clearly superior 3D illusion”

Care to put these under your X-gaze and register your opinion as to which ( if either) is judged “superior” - and, if possible, why?

Many 5hanks for any input you may offer--

I viewed them both full size as Side by Sides and frankly didn't get 3D out of either.

The depth I saw was merely the perspective built into the photograph but as flat pictures. Strangely, the lower one seemd more forward to me than the upper one BUT that was the whole photo rather than the tree trunk alone.

Incidentally, I have changed my technique for using Tri-shots and 3rd image joins are not on the surface now. (Xeyed.) These have been re-edited and no longer need the water to join the third image in.

How do you see them? 3D or not 3D, in the words of Hamlet?

They are just narrow angle, twin camera stereos but with long distance 'deep stereo' discrimination input from a Tri-shot.

Cheers, Tony.
