What do you see? Is it a profile of a young and beautiful lady, or do you see an old wich with huge and ugly nose? I usually focus more on the young ladies ;)

OMG! This is the first time I saw the old hag! She’s so ugly!
i have used this picture on a number of occassions in groups and usually there is a 50/50 split who sees young or old. But I just discovered all who see old = dominant left eye and all who saw young = dominant right eye. Any comments?????
now this is an illusion, i saw both of them, i saw the young woman first then i started staring harder to find the old hag. key = young ladies neck red line is old ladies mouth lol
I remember this optical illusion back in the 70’s because it was used in art class at my High School and maybe in another subject. I wanted to show a girlfriend when we where talking about perception and I saw the young women right away and it took me awhile to see the “old hag”. I suppose this means I am young at heart and beauty and young can live on forever. As far as right/left hemisphere of the brain, I can not comment of that at the moment.
ewwwwwwwwwwww
What human on earth looks like this old woman?
OMG!!!!! That is neat! At first I only saw the pretty young lady it took me a while to see the witch LOL!
when i first saw this 2 years ago, i swear i couldn’t find the old lady!!!
but now tht i see her, she is UGLY
omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took me FOREVER to find the young lady!!!
i cant find the young lady! :(
oh nvm i got it hahah
wow, I seriously thought I would never find the old lady… but now that I finally did I don’t see how I missed it before. lol
i found both of em, the young lady has the brown hair with the white hood and to find the old lady rotate the image 90 degrees clockwis and the chin beomes the nose and the little red necklace thing becomes the mouth and the white becomes her hair
you dont even have to rotate it, my bad
anyone could explain in a perception way? I got a TOK presentation and I def need help++
OMG I CANT FIND THE HAG i saw this 2 yrs ago and i found both now i dont it sucs
wait i was looking and didnt submit yet and i see it
This is how first close ur right the stare rlly hard at the young womans ear the chin line is part of the old ladies nose and the neck is part or the old ladies chin
i really cant see anying where and how are you suppose yo look.
i need help i cant find the old lady!
wheres the old hag
OMG i felt like an idiot i was trying for ages to find the girl.. she looks all hentai
thanks for the hint, i would never find the young lady :)
OMG. It just popped right out in front of me, after some time of observing. O_O
damn , i saw the young girl for a second , and then i read the .`can u spot the young girl` and started only seeing the old lady , now i cant find the young one , lmao , wtf , where is the young girl ? :D
Damn! I saw the old woman at the beginning and then lost her, now i can only see the young girl.
i cant see the girl
Can’t see the young lady at all, just the old woman.
i saw the old hag first then the young lady,
the hags nose isnt the young ladys chin (people saying that confused me) its her jaw line. The red mouth of the hag is supposed to be a stripe necklace thing
also
-hag has a big face that takes up most of the space
-young lady has a really small head that happens to be looking away
(old hags eyes is the young ladies ears)
hope this helped people
Do you know the experiment connected with this paint?The hypothesis of this experiment is that if people think positively or even romantically before loking at this picture they will be more likely to see the young woman than the old witch.
I only found the young lady because I read that the key is that her neck is the mouth of the ugly woman..omg I couldn’t find her no matter what I tried.. pretty tough illusion
tip: If you want to find the old hag, look at the red stripe, which is her mouth, and the young lady’s ear beings the old hags eye.
If you want to find the young lady, focus on the little dot on the crooked nose of the old lady, which are the young lady’s eyelashes.

I am blind in my right eye, and can’t see the Hag. That is a comment.
I can see both the young woman an the old hag.
wenkz. i can see both the old and the young lady.
So many hair for the young lady with the small face!!!
I find it helpful to look at center of pic for old lady and at the blue on the left of pic for young lady
Zomg i know how . People who like anime would see that pic as a young lady cuz anime girls look like this , people who have sympathy for easy things would see an old woman , so try looking outside your thinking , maybe you could find one “.
It took me an hour to see the young lady. Could see only the old woman’s NOSE ! Took me a while to get the nose out of my mind !!
Dude it took me forever to see the old woman now i do its like i cant see the young lady lol
Weird.
Just look at the red thing if you want to see the hag and look at the jawline if you want to see the young lady
omg i saw this illusion about 5 years ago and i just found the old lady it wuz easier to find cuz the one i had didnt have any color but thank god this has
Rotate the pic guys..thats the easiest way to find the chick
