glatt - the lines don't work because they're not 2-D. Our brain wants the towers to be converging because we see they are getting smaller towards the top, and thus must be going "away" from us. The lines aren't getting skinnier so they must be "flat." That's why LJ's quadrilaterals that get smaller towards the top produce the illusion, but plain lines don't.

Well here they are swapped over. Does it still work?
if so, then the alterations phage is concerned about are immaterial.

OK, is it because i'm new here, or does this illusion work when the image is upside down for everyone else, too?

My brain is broke. Whether from the image(s) or Phages explanations about trimming. It's just broke.
I think I'll go look at some nice Eschers now.

Nice one Monster, it does still work. I did a couple more experiments. The first is I flipped the one on the left horizontally, now they appear as a mirror image, both identical.
Next I flipped the one on the right as well, and suddenly the illusion is reversed and now the one on the left appears to be leaning more. Again, I didn't just flip the entire .jpg, I flipped each side individually. This is an amazing illusion. I hate my brain for trying to confuse me.

Phage0070, it's the SAME IMAGE. Right-click on it and select Properties. Same file path. The artifacts you show in the difference images are errors in the algorithm.
