Optical Illusion
Uploaded: February 28, 2016 | Entered: February 28, 2016 05:24:13
This image of a sun hat seems to me to present an optical illusion. The actuality is that we're looking at the underside of the hat, with the crown concave, and the chin strap makes that reality most likely. But . . . if you blink and look at it just right, it appears that the crown is convex and we're seeing the hat from the top side. When I first reviewed this shot, that's the way I saw it and then wondered why in the world the hat had a strap over the top. :-)

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
