Reflection Illusions
Black and White Silver Print

Def.- Optical Illusion: a visual experience in which there is some kind of false perception of what is actually there (word reference tools). Well although this image is not actually an optical illusion, it does give your brain a sort of "teaser" that an optical illusion does. It is as if there are two images layered on top of each other, when in fact it is a reflection of a glass window. The major difference between an optical illusion and this reflection is that there is no "false perception" in this photograph. Everything is literal, it is just up to the receiver to determine what they do or don't see in the photograph.
