Hi Gary,

You are very adept in many apps.

I have a few pics made in Xara that may fall into this catagory.

Beautiful snooker image!

I grew up playing snooker and share your enthusiasm for the game, though I haven't played in years.

This is a wonderful thread! I wish I had something to contribute. Some day.

I think that a trompe l'oeil challenge would also be very interesting. I particularly enjoy images that give the illusion of extending outward beyond the plane of the image, toward the veiwer.

Stu i really like that optical illusion one. That's looks really cool.

And Chuck that's a classic example of what vector graphics are all about -- clean lines, and a solid looking effect. Very nice. I myself have a hard time creating images that come across visually like that. Not sure why...

Hey that's a great one Gare. Similar to some of the stuff i've seen ya do with Xara 3D. Cool colour scheme too.

Ok this thread has really started to get my blood flowing about this subject. So now i'm just going to unload a few more and stopw there. hahaa This COULD go on forever!

All of the following were done using only Photoshop.
