What makes a weave look real?

The over-under alternation has to be consistent, and each crossing needs a small shadow. Without those shadows the strips read as a flat grid overlay rather than as physical ribbons passing through each other.

Which images survive weaving?

Bold, simple compositions. Every strip displaces slightly at each crossing, so fine detail fragments — a strong silhouette or a large simple subject holds together where a busy scene does not.
