It helps to squint your eyes or move further from the computer in the last pic.

I recently found this illusion that is very nicely created. Keep the mouse pointer off the picture and stare at the black dot for 30 seconds. Move the pointer over the picture and a color photo will appear if you keep staring that the black dot. It will turn grey as soon as you move your eyes.

It's a biggie from psych 101. When you see what it is, you will be unable to not see it. A wondeful example about filtered versus unfiltered perception. If you put on the right filter, it gels. Are you sure you want to lose the mystery and just see what it is?

Has anyone figured out what the old-time photo is supposed to be from Lawrens post of July 15? I can't see it.
Thanks

I got it.

You have to flip the photo sideways and you get the solution.

Hi Tomas,

then you also know the "Dalmatian"? It's famous, too and quite similar to the concerned picture.

Ok, MOTO42, I think you need some help !!!
3 posts up this one, I posted the "elephant man" picture in the right way : now you should be able to see a pet dog quietly sleeping in its coffin!

Can you see it now?
