Optical illusion

[Nitefly]

The one on the right looks more slanted over to the right to me.

Yep, that's what I see. Good illusion.

Right pic has darker sky. So looks more slanted.

They are exactly the same picture.

'Our brains have learned that two tall objects in our view will usually rise at the same angle but converge toward the top—think of standing at the base of neighboring skyscrapers. Because these towers are parallel, they do not converge, so the visual system thinks they must be rising at different angles,'

tilt

That explains it

If people can't see the illusion then there is something wrong with you

This is a better illusion, stare at the green square really hard & see if you can see a Giraffe

No they aren't.

The photo appears to have been taken with a 3D camera that takes two pictures from slightly different angles, so when you cross your eyes and focus at the right point it forms a 3D image. If they were the same image then it would appear 3D (which it does), and rapidly flicking between images in photoshop shows the variation.

that second pic just made me go all funny :/

Look at the image above for thirty seconds then look at the above tower.

My word, they are moving

Both pictures in the OP look different to me. 'Right' one has more lean on it to me.

I disagree,

If you overlay the two photos like so, they do not seem to be taken from two different angles the images to me seem to just have scaled differently when being placed side by side in whatever application the image was produced.

Notice how the lower portion of the image seems to not move yet the top part does which to me seems like definite proof of a scaling artefact.

Also note that you will get the same "3D" effect from this image:

Where I have taken the image from the right frame and copied it to the left frame.

[Cosimo]

Lol, but is it now moving

Nope, the only movement was from my eyes and now I feel dizzy.
