I'm sure this doesn't exhibit the essence of 3D'ness everyone is trying to quantify, but for some reason this unremarkable picture seems to draw me down the path. I know it's my imagination.....
I don't know about your imagination but the part of the image which is in focus looks very 3D and you have many things also helping the effect (side lightning, dof usage etc.). I assume based on EXIF that you took this with Voigtlander 125mm, the effect seems to look quite similar as Steven's image in page on this posting.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it. Yes, this was taken with the Voigtlander 125mm on a 5D. I've only had it for a couple of months, but I find it amazing.

Zeiss 25mm ZF IR lens
Not this does not appear 3D to me - The photo looks very unsharp even it has looks like it has been sharpened in post processing, almost like it would have been shoot with too small aperture (f/16 or f/22), which is also indicated by very distinct dust spots at bottom of your sensor (=top of the photo).

Yes this appears 3D to me, at least the cottage

Nice pic, Jon! Where is that building?
Thanks, Philber, much appreciated. These are the Petronas Twin Towers in central Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - formerly the world's tallest buildings, and still I believe the world's tallest twin towers. They featured in the movie, Entrapment, with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones.

Ok squirrel is plausible since it could not have been any other "big" animal since snow was pristine with no footprints, just pieces of bark.
That bark has been stripped by a woodpecker looking for grubs, in Finland maybe a Black Woodpecker.

That's very interesting. Does the way some lenses render blue tones in the shadows affect 3D, or is it just the higher contrast?
Earlier we all seemed to agree that color contrast and color separation were contributors. If true, then indeed the blue shadow monsters should affect "3D" either more or less depending on the other colors and shapes in the scene. Ya?
