Tony Ward mailed me this interesting illusion. First time I saw it, I tought to myself: “Right, another count the horses illusion – nothing new”! But what struck me was next email Tony sent to me. There is actually something hidden in picture itself. Can you see it? I didn’t until Tony priovided outlined picture solution. Open the image full size and try locating the illusion (it isn’t the birds!)
This is what Tony Ward sent in his first email: “This one I’ll always love, not just because its a beautiful piece of art,but because I had thought for a long time that it was catagorised as an optical illusion simply due to the way the horses fade into the picture one side and fade out, changing into a flock of birds, the other side…. Then, one day I saw it, the hidden illusion, and it blew me away….”
There were few very simmilar illusions posted in the past here.

wow! that’s neat! at first, when i was looking, i saw a dalmation head on the left made up of dots… maybe its just me. then i saw the real illusion in the middle. that is really cool. took me a while though
the secret image looks like the ‘dark mark’ in the harry potter books; a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth.
very easy to the image just look firmly and uou will see. nice image
it took me a while but I see it, the profile of a NATIVE AMERICAN, not “Injun”!
I see lion
For those who still cannot see it, here is an image of the native american head in a different color so you can spot it easily.

Since I noticed the “???” I cannot actually see the horses anymore!
I keep seeing “???”!

they are al horses! I think….
All i mean
ahahahah thats so mad
first i saw the horses
than i saw an egle (the hole shape and its head)
then i saw the indian took me for ever though !
it is to f’in small to see. that is why i enlarged it
I saw it. It was a Native American dude head. It was staring at me. I was scared. It’s right in the center of the horses!
FINALLY! I FINALLY FOUND IT! I have been looking for forever! i mean it, I have had this bookmarked for months I look every week and still haven’t seen it! Then i finally do!
NeE-HaA
I see a Fucking lion in the middle!! u gotta look at the full pic… but i dont see any native american
lol ok now i see that the lion was the native american
Wait.. who is that?
is it a dinosaur??? Aha(: Cuz thats what i see……
A Native American Man…Geronimo?
It’s a native american man.
its horses turning into a flock of birds, as stated in the fucking text above the picture! READ PEOPLE READ!
dude thts pretty obvious tht they turn into birds so ofcourse thts not the hidden image, hense to word HIDDEN
WHY DON’T U READ THE TEXT???!!!! READ IT ALL, NOT JUST A LINE OR TWO. IT SAYS THATS NOT THE ILLUSION!!
Haha Rachel you’re really dumb. You can’t read!
don’t swear your obviously to young if you cant be bothered reading the text
Oh my god! Rachel, you are SO EXTREMELY COOL AND HARDCORE; you said the word “fucking”. You are such a rebel. Extremely cool and unique. *inserts sarcasm*
First of all:
- Why don’t you read?
- Isn’t it pretty obvious that they change into birds? The text said there was another HIDDEN illusion.
- Don’t swear: It makes you seem even more stupid than you already are.
Ummm, maybe you should re-read it there my friend lols.
its a rock star :P
Wow, I didn’t see it for so long, and I’m normally quite good at this stuff! But I must admit it’s a wonderful picture even without the native American…
it’s a face in the middle
there a horses that change into birds, but as they change, there’s like someone in the middle…
i spot an eagle
AHA! I see the horses, birds, face…. and SOMETHING ELSE!!! Do you see it? Scary!!
What is it? PLEASE TELL ME! I’M DYING TO KNOW!!
I don’t want to lose sleep over this! LOL
Cool illusion…thanks:)
*cough* you meant thought instead of tought.
*cough* you also meant similar instead of simmaler. Vurdlak, you need spellcheck.
It’s none of the above because I work with a person who makes optical illusions and we looked on this website and founded tha it’s actually a bird riding on a horse. If you look in the middle (the brown part) and zoom in then you will see what it actually is! It’s not a bloody native American or a rockstar! XD
Totally is a Native American… a side face. =)
its a lions head !
guys stop all arguing try squinting ur eyes …….. POOF Illussion reveals!
i still cant see it but i love the artwork. THis really portrays the speed of a horse, as fast as if they are flying across the horizon
Bev Doolittle art. She has some amazing ones, and most are based on American Indians.
The face !!
It’s Crazy Horse.
if you cant see it, then enlarge the picture and stare at the middle.the eyes,mouth,hair,are all there,so what is it? look again
Beautiful piece but i saw the illusion almost immediatly
It took me a few minutes, call me slow, lol. But it really snuck up on me. I was scanning my eyes back and forth then BAM! I cried out, “O s$@t!” Lol very cool image
Looks like scattered blood on the dang it floor!
OMG!!! I change my mind!!!! I squinted and saw a bunch of native American Indians running!!!! Cool! And I should know-we 11 year olds know when something is cool or lame!
i see the head of a man
