Viewer perception.

The "lower" rim is actually in the back, "top" rim in front.
Great optical illusion. I can see it both ways.
(Not the angle of view, but the perception on one's mind.)

Maybe the reflection in the rear rim?
Try changing it from a bright reflection in the rear rim to a darker reflection and see if that changes your perception.

My neighbor has a bench in his yard facing one direction, If I look at it and think about it, I can see it if it were sitting shifted 90°.

👍👍👍

I wonder what would have happened with wine in the glass. One shot with white. One with red.

Our brain registers brighter objects as closer, the highlight on the back rim and the bright refection coming down from it causes us to perceive the back of the glass as the front.

This is one of my photos I posted on FB. As I was fiddling with my phone I noticed the effect when you change the angle of view. This was taken on my Fujifilm x100v.


Weird - it changes as you look at it.

It is an optical illusion. You look at it one way it looks like the opening is facing you blink and I and then it looks normal it's the angle you were looking up at through the clear glass.

I agree with robertjerl. Usually when a wine glass tilts it is putting something in my mouth,

The mind wants to see things in 3 dimensions but this is a 2 dimensional image. So the mind is "tricked" to actually "see" the rim in a depth that is not really there. A very interesting photo. Sometimes we see things that are not really there. Sorta like seeing parallel railroad tracks converge in the distance

Thanks for the railroad tracks analogy. It drives home the point.
