Anaglyph Notes: I've created 4 different versions, each has the window set (where red and cyan sides merge) at a different point, with that point moving further back into the picture as the crop moves closer in. Notice how the soldier in front goes from behind the screen in the full version to in front of the screen in the closest crop. If you zoom-in there's a lot of interesting details in this photo, including what looks a lot like wooden coffins on the deck of the barge at left. -PT

 

Red/Cyan (not Red/Blue) glasses of the proper density must be used to view 3D effect without ghosting.
