Lovely entries everybody. Thank you Steve.

Ah, the side of the cot away from the viewer has a fine mosquito net on it. I slipped up there because the top section should be diffused with light from the window with the lower part being in shadow. Looking at that, I see I failed to shadow the front of the Skunk's chair.

Thanks Steve.

If you are talking about the door shadow, who knows? It's very hard to guess. The door edges shadows are exactly parallel with each other. I measured it. The optical illusion is that they seem to be approaching each other the closer the are to the observer. The window sunlight is wrong but I couldn't figure that out either.
Thanks Steve - it kept me happy for days.

Because she's in two posters holding different animals I presumed that she was the vet herself. She is holding a snake in one, which led me to the mendacious vet gag.

As for the apostrophe I can only plead that I did blushingly own up in the very next post ..........

Thanks Steve it was fun.

Ah, then that’s the problem. Although the sides may be parallel in real life, as we’re looking at them from a distance then they should appear in perspective (imagine it was not a shadow but floor tiles).
