That worked. BUT I neglected to tell you the ENTIRE story, my fault. Sorry
There's a second part of my effect, hover. When the mouse hovers over the canted image, the image returns to normal while being held. Let go of the mouse and the image goes back to canted.
Now, with the delay, the hover is no longer immediate but holds 2 seconds.
I want the image to move nearly instantly with the hover. I tried adding a second time delay — transition-delay: 1s; 250ms — but that didn't seem to do it.
Here's the ENTIRE code I entered. Again, sorry for not being correct the first time.
Main Element CSS (default):
transform: perspective(700px) rotateY(45deg);
transition: all 1.6s; transition-delay: 1s: 250ms
Main Element CSS (hover):
transform: perspective(700px) rotateY(0deg);
