Looks like a sunny background and that the dress is in the shade

So the idea is that the dress is, what, covered in an exactly dress shaped and sized amount of shade? Or else why wouldn't we see shade anywhere else?

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because shade works in 3D and it's not clear how far away the background is from this picture. But yes, 'dress shaped and size amounts of shade' exist; trees, could be on a shaded balcony, etc.

Maybe I'm just an elevated being but I can clearly tell that the righthand side is a mirror on a wall and that the tan below it is where the floor meets the wall. Because of that, I can roughly make out the angle and know that we should be seeing some shade on the side if any existed in the first place.

Does that make sense?

No because it's your subconscious, otherwise you'd have no problem understanding why it's was ambigious. (Same applies for elevated beings - they can grasp differences in human colour perception).

And either way, even if your assumptions were true you still don't know the angle of the sun, potential coverings, etc. You can't predict the shade without that info so the logical choice would be to use the colours the pixels display.

The potential coverings would have to be exactly the shape of the dress because of the sleeves, no? We would see the shade passing underneath? Like onto the obvious clothing rack underneath the left sleeve?

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No because you can't see the floor underneath.

Looks like a fence with holes in it to the left, can see the sun through the holes in the distance.

Interesting.

Anyway, skill diff! See ya!
