This would be a great shot if it wasn't such a cloudy day. As it is with such low contrast lighting, the shot is quite flat and it took me a moment to see the boat sailing through the scene. With better lighting it would most likely have popped right out as it is so much lighter than the rest of the image...

If this was not an illusion challange, I would think that this was a shipyard!! The foreground is a bit busy, and calls attention from the illusion.
Was I fooled? YES! Congratulations!

Cool capture. It does look like they're building a cruise ship in the middle of this city. Great detail.

Good color. This isn't grabbing me.

is it an illusion or an "only in america"

I will have to admit that it is hard to see from this angle which building they are working as I don't see any construction other than the cranes. The ship in the middle is interesting amongst the buildings. I assume there must be a water channel behind the building in the foreground, but it does seem out of place. Looks like a stormy day...not too crazy about the lighting because of that. Anyway, an interesting picture to look at and wonder what's going on.
