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.

    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.

  7. Tony says:

    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.

  11. bobby says:

    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.

  12. Thomas says:

    I might sound like a complete idiot, but all i can see are spots..

  13. Hotshott says:

    Guys: It’s not a Lion… it is a face of an AMERICAN INDIAN!!!

  14. GUESS WHO says:

  15. cest moi says:

    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

  16. Corry says:

    Yeah thats really cool i had to squint just to see it cool native american guy.

  17. Red. says:

    Ohh! I see it, took me a while before i started focusing on the details of the white bits, rather than the spots.

  18. Bluzrooster says:

    the secret image looks like the ‘dark mark’ in the harry potter books; a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth.
