TENNISBL

Retrieved from storage.

The images show a tennis ball with two different shades of yellow on it: 1) A lighter shade for half of its surface area; 2) Darker shade covering another portion of its surface area, creating an illusion that one side is larger than the other due to perspective and lighting differences. This creates a visual trick where part of the ball appears smaller or farther away from viewpoint because it's in shadow while the lighter-colored section looks closer and brighter.
