Help! Is this guy drowning, or is he safe? It depends on how you see the image, and the way it is rotated. For example, many of you will first presume this guy is drowning and screaming for help, but when the image is rotated (jump inside this article to see the 2nd picture), you will see that he is actually safe. By the way, it’s nice to have a cartoon-ish illusion here and then, right? :)

Is this a red hat ?
Nice illusion, only on picture two this guy either has his nostrols on the upper side of his nose or he has 2 very weird tumors placed at two highly unlikely places.
Shame, could be a really great picture if it weren’t for this flaw.
No Illusion here. The second picture has his nose above his eyes. Let’s do better next time!
not that great
I like this one!
Look at gustave verbeek.
he made “Upside-Down”.
http://www.planetperplex.com/en/gustave_verbeek.html
The picture is just up-side down, it still looks like he is drowning….up-side down…or is he climbing the wall? It looks the same in both pictures.
Nah, in the second the poor chap’s bent backwards over a fence… Ouch!
I can’t really tell, but i would say to me on both it looks like he is drowning. If i look at the second picture it makes me think his head is the other way round.
He is drowning look at the 2 bolards either side of him there deep in water! when rotated there still underwater!
This is really funny!
Somebody stuck the poor guy in the nose with a fork! …. Get back in the water!
ok to all those who are all like not that great and i have seen better. well i want to see you do any better. A picture like that takes alot of work and alot of creativity.
WOW very nice
No, look closer. Where his mouth is in the first picture is a hat in the second. He’s not bent backwards over the fence he is leaning over it. It took me quite a while to see it. then BLAM it hit me. it is really actually very clever.
Took awhile, but I see. Eh. It’s an okay illusion.
hmmmmm kinda remindsme of mr burns from the simpsons
he looks like he’s bent on a dock
HAHAHHA HIS NOSE IS ON HIS FOREHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!
its obvious hes safe.
hes hanging on to the wooden deck
in the first pic, its his mouth, then in the second pic, its a red hat, intersting how it turns out
Saw this before in some Barnes & Noble Book.
And i don’t get it!!!
kinda weird…
yeh good apart fromthe nostrils are on both sides of his nose!
*laughs* i like the two very weird tumor response
the nose on the second one isnt above his nose…its just the mans eye brows
yhat’s really original. i like it. the waves of the water are transformed in white birds. it’s cool

NOT BIRDS.
Isn’t it possible that the man is upside down on a fence or he is lyin back, half in the water, on some decking??? Could have been better, but still a great illusion using 2 different aspects!
That guy looks funny! :-)

i <3 this one :D
I didn’t get that the mouth was supposed to become a hat at first, because seeing the nose above the eyes made my mind automatically flip the picture the “right” way up, it only makes sense in the first rotation.
Well I think he looks safe in the first one b/c the red could be a hat and in the second one his head is just messed up so he aint safe in it….
i think it kinda stinks.
ummmm… his neck looks broken in the second pic… thats really weird
Nice hat!
in the first picture he is actually climbing up the wood for safety and the second has me stumped.
i was stumped in the beginning but i realize hes safe because hes on some decking. U can tell hes on some decing because his thumbs are facing the same way that we would have them if we were grabbing onto some decking. look close and ull see wat i mean.
i solved this illusion ull find out u wont be stumped anymore
Fo SHIzzle
to see this illusion you have to look at the mouth, in the second pic look at the mouth as if its a hat(which its supposed to be) and then you can see the illusion.
both. i think…… maby hez drowning…….
brilliant!!!!
i get it but its confusing that his nostrils r not the right way
