That are really two way of perceiving it. You are seeing a concave
curve (curving in or hollowed inward) [1]. Much like seeing the inside
surface of a cutaway sphere. What I see is a convex curve (curving out
or bulging outward) [1]. It is what this test from 2008 suggested
(don't allow the dark background to drop)

1. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_and_Concave>
Go to the kitchen cupboard and get a bowl.
1/ Put the bowl on a table: it curves-in [concave].
2/ Turn the bowl upside down: it curves-out [convex].
3/ Neither of the above is a sphere.
In a like and similar manner you have created a very nice
optical-illusion in your test cases- -- no question about that, one is
concave and the other is convex. But as with bowls, in neither case is
that illusion a sphere.
