Nick Weidle The two glasses act as convex lenses which usually magnify, but in this case, they are placed at larger distances and the image is reduced and is inverted. The glass further from the towel has a magnification of -3x while the one closer to the towel has about -2x magnification. The glass which is further from the towel has a horseshoe effect with its image. This is a result of the curvature of the glass and because of the large distance from the object in relation to it radius. In the same sense, the glass which is closer to the towel should have the same effect but to a smaller degree. But th left side is bent downward because of the angle at which I took the picture; I was directly behind the further glass and at an angle for the closer glass. Thus the image we see through the closer glass is a side angle shot which allows the light to bend more.
