Ramesh, I liked this... You have a great eye in seeing things. I feel the illusion-breaker is those plants on the rocks, at the top-mid and somewhere in the middle a very tiny, running on the boundary.
Thanks for sharing.

This is excellent! Loved it. If I were you, then I would have presented it without the plant. A square frame without the plant in the picture (almost 1/4th from the top cropped). That would enhance the illusion further I guess. Thanks for sharing.
Agree about excluding the top 1/3 of the frame. A square crop would have made this a killer. Lovely seeing and wonderful realization about the illusion. The textures on the rocks look awesome too.
absolutely stunning, ramesh. like the illusion hence created. i like it the way you presented, bottom square crop would become too simple to enjoy sense of illusion 'n complexity of forms, i guess.
Thanks a lot Raghu, Ashwini,, Harsha, Nevil and Shankar for your views. Appreciate that. Ashwini, agree that the cropping the top plants makes it a better illusion. It also becomes kind of unresolved! I am with Nevilji about the interest the plants and the rock form add.

Very few original pictures can create such beautiful illusions. And when it is from the master himself, this can be expected. Wonderful pic here, Sir.. ..
Hi Ramesh, I'm stumped by this riddle. Even after returning to the image many times I'm not sure which one's in the front. Even the leaves don't reveal it. I think the dark one is in the front but then it goes away in a moment. Am I right in guessing For me the picture is complete as presented. great seeing once again. Thanks for sharing
