This image of of..well, the moon. Did you know that the moon seen in the sky is smaller than the moon seen rising over the horizon? It is not. Tht moon is the same size by measure in either location..that is "what we see" and the illusion is the measure in our thought.
To me, the reality is a larger moon at the horizon since that is what I see..even if science shows it is not so.
Photographs..well, we see what we often want to see in any particuilar image. Sure, some rules show which shots are generally considered better than others but in the end is is our mind, our thoughts, our interpretation seeing the photo. The same with the moon.
I will take a large moon on the horizon any time, illusion or not. And that does not need postwork.
