Default Got 3-D glasses?

So, with too much time on my hands today, I was playing with Photoshop and came up with this image. If you have a pair of those red/blue paper throw-away 3-D glasses, check it out. If not, sorry to have wasted your time...

Pretty neat.

If you squint your eyes and roll your index and thumb into a tight circle, look through the tiny aperture created...it gives you almost the 3D effect.

It might work for some and not for others.

I discovered it when I couldn't find my reading glasses one day...and I wanted to see what "Marmaduke" was into...

Don't have 3D glasses handy, but I do like the color of your car.

Thank you all for the compliments, particularly about the Fairway Green color. As I type this, I think I recall that marketing for GM somewhere referred to the NEW 1998 Corvette convertible as having a trunk "big enough to hold two golf bags", or something along those lines. Perhaps the car was marketed in the direction of the country club set, but this color wasn't very popular, as there were only 318 coupes ('97 & '98) and 60 convertibles made in Fairway Green. Don't know if that's good or bad, but the color is what sold me on this car.

What camera/lens are you using for this? ^ Almost looks like a t/s lens. Or are you adding blur in photoshop?
