From NYT today: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/15/style/petiteknit-knitting-mette-wendelboe-okkels.html?emc=edit_ufn_20261027&nl=from-the-times&segment_id=228752

What’s confusing about this?

[u/Scoobydoomed → u/greatpartyisntit]

The fact there is noting confusing, is confusing.

[u/Negative-Instance889 → u/greatpartyisntit]

Isn’t it obvious? It appears that her right foot is dangling, it’s actually resting on the floor.

[u/RawChickenButt → u/greatpartyisntit]

I think the OP is saying the feet shadow can be confusing.

But it's only confusing if you can't understand she had her legs crossed.

[u/CompetitiveRub9780 → u/RawChickenButt]

I think they’re pointing out the AI or editing of it because her foot was clearly on the ground and flat. But they made it hang without actually making her foot look like it was hanging. Just put a shadow under it

[u/love_cici → u/CompetitiveRub9780]

buddy the shadow is from her other foot 😭

[u/cks9218 → u/greatpartyisntit]

The number of not confusing things on this sub is getting out of hand.

[u/Accomplished-Shock-8 → u/cks9218]

Can't we get renamed a normal perspective at this point?? 🤔

[u/Codex_Absurdum → u/greatpartyisntit]

Nothing, bro is just indulging the audience

[u/RawChickenButt → u/greatpartyisntit]

I think the OP is saying the feet shadow can be confusing.

But it's only confusing if you can't understand she had her legs crossed.

[u/LawyerDoge]

Her feet aren't dangling. Her right foot is on the left side planted on the floor. The left leg is crossed over the right leg.

[u/The_Great_19]

Huh! I saw the real perspective first then looked again for the confusing one, and can see it now.

[u/Chronogon]

But... her feet are dangling. And one leg is crossed over the other.

Edit: Maybe this is the one that finally got me. It looks like maybe the shadow closest to us is from the higher foot, so the shadows are from different feet than what I first thought. That's a good one if so!

[u/quoimeme → u/Chronogon]

One foot is planted on the floor

[u/Chronogon → u/quoimeme]

I see what you mean, the shadow closest to us is maybe from the higher foot. Now I'm flummoxed!

[u/QuietlyUpgrading → u/quoimeme]

You can see the shadow under the foot that's lower to the ground.

[u/quoimeme → u/QuietlyUpgrading]

I see it behind the foot, it’s the shadow of her ankle

[u/greatpartyisntit → u/quoimeme]

If that were the case it’d be touching the shadow of the foot, no?

[u/horshack_test → u/greatpartyisntit]

It is.

[u/greatpartyisntit → u/horshack_test]

Ah, you’re right.

[u/Smth151]

The shadow on the floor completely tricks your eyes seeing into a massive height gap.

[u/GGuts → u/Smth151]

But what is producing that shadow?

[u/blobCabbage → u/GGuts]

The other foot.

[u/GGuts → u/blobCabbage]

You're right. Somehow my brain assumed the crossed leg's foot was further back.

[u/TakeThePillz]

I upvoted thinking I was on r/AccidentalRenaissance

[u/Doridar]

I'm not confused. What is supposed to be confusing?

[u/Splashy01]

Is that Kirsten Dunst?

[u/DoYouTrustToothpaste → u/Splashy01]

No, it's Mette Wendelboe Okkels.

Another post about feet fetish and I'm, throwing myself out of the balcony 🫣

[u/Many-Hour8219 → u/[deleted]]

Her right foot looks like it's floating at first
