First, your original is superb. I like the addition of the swimmer, but I think he's a bit out of proportion. The tortoise is effective, and the butterflies are fine. The duck looks like an afterthought. It just doesn't fit. I agree with Jan about the transparency. He looks less saturated than the rest of the image. |

Awesome. This is by far my favorite this month, and one of your best. It's like Magritte has married Escher, through the eye of Dali. |

Excellent composite abstract. It feels like a propeller through a cathedral window. I like your version better than Steve's. The dark portions bring out the luminosity, and the lighter parts evoke reflections. |

This reminds me of a scene from the Beatles movie HELP. My favorite part is the way you've used shadow to imply sun rays. Brilliant (pun intended). |

Very nice. It looks like a vintage lithigraph. |

Thanks again for your interest! Yes, my artistic style often resembles Psychedelia. I also try to find Surrealism, Dada, ironic humor, Op/Pop art, Graphic design, and Absurdism in my work.
My goal is not often realistic, and more often abstract and/or suggestive. Although I do often include realism, I prefer to also alter the perception of reality rather than simply adding incongruous elements in an otherwise realistic image. |

I'm not sure I understand your question. The images I have posted in this group are not stereoscopic. This group is for creative photography and editing. |

Thanks for your interest! Stereoscopic photography is also called '3D' photography. It can be created with a dedicated 3D camera (with two lenses), two identical synchronized cameras, or with a single camera by taking two images while moving the camera between shots. The finished photos can be viewed several ways. They can be processed using different colored filters for each image, and viewed using colored glasses (anaglyphic stereo). Or side by side images may be viewed using binocular type viewers, 3D tv or projectors, lenticular prints (moving image cards), or with practice, can be viewed without any aid. |

Do you like this version better? |

I didn't add the bee. It's in the original. |

Parts of this are excellent. I love the bird and fish among the plants bottom right. The apes and frog among the plants work very well together, but the frog is lost in the final image. The top half is excellent, but might look better if the hummingbird was reversed, on the other side of the Heliconia, more within the tiger's line of sight. The perspective shift between the elements in the bottom half is not disturbing, but the whiskers being in front of the ape's head breaks the continuity. Another idea would be to push the tiger back. Put it behind some of the plants so it's stalking the hummingbird, and doesn't dominate the image as much. |

There were some attachments made by cyclopital if you can find one, but they haven't been made for a very long time.

The W3 does have a sequential mode (cha-cha) which would work well for this since nothing is in motion.
"To fully use the stereo depth on the Fuji W3, the closest object in a scene that also includes elements at infinity distances should be about 6 feet. The stereo perception (aka, "disparity") fades with distance. For most viewers, the perceptible difference between infinity (which is "flat") and the farthest subject can be on the order of 30-40 yards. YMMV. This limits the disparity between the closest and farthest elements to maintain viewing comfort. Scenes with too great a disparity will produce viewer discomfort.
For greater perception of stereo depth at larger distances, the separation between lenses must be increased. Such work results in hyperstereo views. Since the W3 has a fixed separation (aka, "stereo base" or "interaxial"), normal use prevents this. HOWEVER...THE W3 has a selectable "CHA-CHA" mode that permits capture at variable separations (you must move the camera the desired amount horizontally between two shots). In this case, post-processing the result will probably be mandatory to re-align the two views, unless you use special hardware to move the camera exactly horizontally between the two shots. And nothing should move in the scene during the time it takes to take the two shots.
Note that you can successfully photograph closer objects with the W3 in normal mode, and produce comfortable viewing, but you must not include image elements that are also at large distances (unless the background is uniform, such as a cloudless clear blue sky). Or, you can use the CHA-CHA mode and only shift the camera by small amounts (smaller separations), and then you CAN include distant elements.
"Normal" mode means the W3 takes two images (a stereo pair) synchronized (at the same instant)." - Via 'turbguy' on dpreview.com

I think it might show more depth if you had shot it from one side or the other. I don't think the reflections would change much, since they're mostly vertical and parallel. On the other hand, that's kind of a cliche' in stereography. The typical fence line to infinity. I think it would look better with a wider stereo base, and a bit longer lens. That would push the reflections back, and make the image more comfortable. |

I like the detail. This would make an excellent out of frame edit. |

Excellent depth and lots of subtle detail. Your framing is also excellent. The diagonal separation of foreground vs. background is dramatic. |

I bet that antique safe is worth MORE than the gold. A great shot with excellent depth. I assume it's a cha-cha, since your shadow moved between shots. There is a disparity in the shadows, but the image is strong enough to overcome it. There must have been at least three light sources. Luckily your shadow isn't from the strongest one. |

This is excellent in 2D. Very artistic. It's also good in 3D, but the reflections make the depth complex and difficult to view. |

I love this. Great color, multiple leading lines, balanced negative space, and a compelling subject. The depth you've captured really shows everything the W3 has to offer. I bet you could find more detail in the dark areas using photoshop. |
