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.

Omg, I opened it up and saw it after just a few seconds, Im really proud of myself! It’s a great illusion and i think it is a great idea. It may seem abit wierd but i have trouble seeing the horses!!! Loving it, more like this please
I guess it is more difficult to find the illusion for analytic people. Don’t focus, try to overview the whole thing. If somebody gives up tell him where is the mouth, I think it is a certain clue.This is one of the best illusions I’ve found in this site.
I see it - It’s a face of an American Indian - Pretty cool !!
its a bird!
Here’s where I see a lion…http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/7520/windwingqq7.jpg
I guess it could be an American Indian, but it seems more like a nonhuman-shaped head to me.
Usually I’m pretty good w/ this stuff but I couldn’t see it until I came back to the pic and read some explanations. Thanks everyone! Very cool idea.
LOL
As I said in the original quote, it was a while before I saw it……..a few of you have got it spot on…..but it aint a lion……
sweet this i awsome!!!
awsome
Most of the time it takes me forever to see anything. not this time Indian face, side view looking right. its in the center. I can make out the face more than I can tell there are horses.
I saw the face of an indian right away. Don’t know where the lion and other things are coming from. Didn’t see anything else.
I might sound like a complete idiot, but all i can see are spots..
Guys: It’s not a Lion… it is a face of an AMERICAN INDIAN!!!
just kinda refoucus your eyes a little in the middle of the image. it just kind of pops our at you
never been more amazed by an illusion painting…at first i saw the entire picture to be some sort of bird with its wings spread and flying towards the screen…but looking in the middle my jaw dropped. =O
Yeah thats really cool i had to squint just to see it cool native american guy.
Ohh! I see it, took me a while before i started focusing on the details of the white bits, rather than the spots.
This is the art of Bev Doolittle, she is my fave illusion artist!
If I look really close, i can see the wolf from little red riding hood..
YOU SEE A NATIVE AMERICAN IS THE MIDDLE WHERE WHERE ALL THE BROWN IS!!! THE FACE IS IN THE CENTER!!! IT LOOKS LIKE A “C” AT FIRSY BUT IT WIN BEGIN TO DEVELOP!!! IT’S AMAZING!!!
please give me a hint…I don’t get it…please…and not just it’s in the middle of the pic
I see some horsies and then some giraffes with smudge…and then birdies =)
**********SPOILER WARNING************
*************************************
The face is looking to your right (his left) and the top of its head is the highest peak of the brown in the middle.
oh its so pretty…
Does anyone know who made this piece of artwork?
I SEES AN INJUN !
YUR LYIN IF YOU SEES A LION
I DONT SEE A FREAKIN LION
JUST AN INJUN !
It is called Native American, not injun!
Yeh, I see it. It looks like there’s a face in the middle. He looks like an Indian Cheif or something…
wow! that is really amazing…my favorite illusion yet!
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.
