One of our loyal visitors, Amy Baggetta submitted this cool picture from Salvador Dail. She said that “The unsuallailty of this pic allows the illusion to almost be unseen”. Can you find what’s the illusion in this picture? First thing you notice is couple of swans enjoying their swim. Look again! Can you spot some other animal present in the picture? Only one? Thanks Amy! Others, be sure to check previous cool Salvador Dali illusion that can be found inside “Celebrities Category” as well in the “Multiple Meanings Category“.

nuthin’
whoa that’s cool haha i like it.
They are elephants in the reflection of the water!
I don’t see anything… :(
If you’re talking about the elephants in the reflection, that’s pretty cool. I can never tell what is an illusion in Dali artwork, there’s just so much always hidden in the art.
The reflections of the swans look like elephants. I see three elephants. Are there any more??
elephants
i dnt see nething
once you see it, you can’t help but not see it….
Nothing.
elephants… you gringos!
still don’t see anything? check the water’s reflection.
i see elephants
Nice illusion.
We see the shadows of swans as Elephants. Is that right?
:-)
swans? all i see are elephants
elephants!
Elephant reflections! nice!
ooo elephants :)
cool illusion, look at the reflections
I see a man, by the rocks, next to the big white swan. Is that the other animal?
I don’t know if my note got to you so I will try again.
3 elephants in swan reflections,
man in white shirt and tan pants looking to the left-located under the middle cloud,
dinosaur skull behind man,
monkey profile in the water looking left – below the man,
face in the water looking left-behind the first swans head and neck curve,
kneeling girl-left edge of picture below first cloud,
there must be more !!
haha… the name of the painting is “swans reflecting elephants”….
you could honestly start a whole dali section… he has alot of optical illusion paintings…
i must be an odd one, because i saw the elephants before I saw the swans… i’m also going to agree with Anderson on this one, there are more things in the picture. (I was just to uncreative to figure it all out :p)
elephants!!
Dalí was a truly genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lástima que no todos somos ni pensamos como lo hacía Salvador Dalí!!!!!!!!!!
I see a goat or something on the left side
I think there is some sort of dragon something on the right mountains/plateau
Salvador Dali, Geez… what a con artist. How did that guy ever make so much money?
dont see anything o well check the water and the swans reflection
i love this!
–ya the obvious swan and the elephants
–man
–cant see the skull of dino but a whole dino actually(probably being to illusive)below third cloud
–lot of snakes
–below and left to the first swan/ elephant there are many things i can see -back portion of horse with tail, a face of ape/monkey, vulture,
–a monkey on the first tree trunk facing us
–a boat in the lake
–a face of monkey in water
ans some invisible bacterias in air;-)

i see 5 3 under the swans and 2 on the right
theres a man standing on the left with a white shirt too!!!
Woaaaah~ this is so cool….I noticed the elephants as soon as i saw the picture, but now when i look closely i notice much much more….
P.S. the tree behind one of the swans looks like a woman with her hand up…..
Love it!
Love it!
Love it!
Those elephants are really cool!!
MONKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one word: ovaries.
a few more words: the swans, viewed from the right side, look like ovaries!
Yes, there are three elephants. There is also a profile of a young girl to the far left–I’m surprised no one noticed or mentioned that.
There’s elephants and a person hmmm….
i love the man on the left =D
i like human aspects in paintings.
Is that a goat on the side of the picture?It’s head is white but the rest is abnornal and brownish.
IT’s A STUPID DUCK!!!!!
I am surprised that none of u have seen the bull! I have had this 20 foot poster on my wall for many years and I have found so much! If u want to see the bull then look on the right hand side at what looks like mountains. Once u sind the Eye u will see the bull! good luck!
Has anyone noticaed that Salvador Dali himself is standing to the left of the pic, facing away from the swans?
this is his anniversary paiting. He dedicated it to his wife. It’s called swans and elephants, because he thought that the most beutiful creaturs were swans, but the ugliest were elephants. If you look at the trees they spell out the word “love”. He also painted him self into the mountain on the left side.
I see a man, a woman, and some elephants. Strangely, I see a form of a lady on one of the trees. Look closely.
theres a mouse but u cant see it cuz its shoved up the swans ear
theres a man stood by the rocks enlarge the pikture and look left =]
i dont know, i might be a little pervert lol, but if you look closely at the clouds in the top left area, you might see something similar to a Blow J…
it loos like a vulva opened
omg i didnt even notice the elephants!
Hey, I saw this picture before. It was in my Aunt’s house!
lol my aunt has the same one to!! lol
The person on the left someone said looked like a goat is tha painter himself turned backwords from the swans, Salvador Dali.
This is dumb I cant se nuthin’
I see something that looks somewhat like ‘Yoda’ from Star Wars, in the bottem, left corner.. Anyone else agree.. Or am I going nuts?
does anyone else see the buterfly in the nest enlarge it and look right side you’ll se a camophalaged( sp) butterfy then in the lower left corner there is a side of a face like a shodow you can see the nose and hair it is almost like Fred from Scoby Doo
Well i don’t see much but i see
2 women 1 in the biggest cloud and the other on the left wall
I had to read the comments to figure it out so they were pretty good….
ELEPHANTS!!!!!
THANK you! Finally someone gets it!
what is it
I see a triceratops on the right top … lava and city form his head … lava going down is one leg … tree is another one. tail is the coast in the background. but I might just be insane.
@da-daum omg ur right
See the painter himself on the right, his shadow projected on the yellow rock is in the shape of Gala, his wife looking like a gypsy girl (it makes out the head of the triceratops).
kinda reminds me of google
Yes, the illusion is the 3 elephants formed by the reverted reflection in the water.
6 elephants and a goat :)
elephants and a mermaid?
Here’s a few things I noticed from this painting…
- The elephants, of course…
- There’s another elephant to the right.
- A mouse above the fourth elephant.
- A woman in the tree above the first swan.
