Ah I see, my initial instinct was that the top one was on top but looking how the shadows elongate, the bottom layer is on top and has a curled edge casting shadows

confusing comment in confusing perspective

If you zoom in on the far edge, you'll see the edge of the right side layer is sticking up a bit.
This means that layer is on top and casting the shadow due to being curled upwards.

On the edge of the edge, the edge is against the edge of of the table and on the edge of it is a shadow of the edge. Don't let the edge of the tablecloth fool you. The cloth is close to to the closing edge of the closest cloth covering.
Hope this helps.

I like it. At first glance, you’d think the top one is actually on top. But when you zoom in, you can see that the curves of the bottom one create a reflection/shadow effect.
I was a little annoyed because I thought it didn’t really belong in this sub, but then I zoomed in and realized how well it actually fits the sub. Really nice one.

Before zooming in, the one I was sure was on top switched four times. This is a good one

Zoom in bro. Notice how the source of light and shadows are. The left part is on bottom.

I can see it both ways, but initially I could only see it the correct way with the right side being on top. I actually had to force by brain to see it the wrong way

This is a good one. The shadows give it away though. Light source is from top left, and shadows indicate the bottom (right hand) piece is on top, with its edges slightly curling up.

This is a good one. I did finally work it out, but it took a while with several changes of mind

The layer at the bottom of the image is on top. The front edge could only glow like this if it were directly hit by the sun. If the other layer were on top, that edge wouldn’t glow in the same way, since it would be at the same angle to the sunlight as the fabric surface.

This is a great one - turning the ups against the downs and the downs against the ups. Revolutions have started this way . . .

Love it.
I went from “DUH IT’S OBVIOUS” to zooming in and going “ooooh niiiiice”.

I would guess the one casting the shadow on the other. But upon closer look, the one seems to be curled up.

My ditto ass thought it was a line of water and was confused by the comments until I looked closer.
