Can you see the face of an angle in this unbelievable photo?! It took me a while, but when I noticed it, I can’t stop seeing it! Wonderful! You can clearly see a face in the middle of the picture, but jump inside this article if you can’t see it. This very nice illusion was submitted by Joshua Bernasconi. It is similar to Jesus in Sellhurst Park, Google Jesus illusion, God’s creations…
Joshua: “I am a student at a middle school. One day my Bible teacher showed me this amazing photo of an angel. Because I didn’t see it at first I was disappointed, but after about 5 minutes it suddenly revealed itself to me. I’ve tried the best I can to outline it for you, so just bear with it. Besides its beauty, the picture is also an illusion at first… until you finally see it. I also have an artistic friend who’s painting this for me, and when he does, I will send you a picture. Pretty awesome, ehh!?”
Joshua: “The story is that one day a lady was driving down to her parents home in Iowa, and decided to stop and take a picture of the reflection of the stars and trees on a lake at night. When she finally developed the roll, she thought that the picture came out bad, but that it was unusually pretty, so she entered it in some photo contest. People began questioning her on the body that is seen in the picture. Just like everyone else, it took her a few minutes to pick it out. When she finally did, she was faint. For the last picture just follow this: H=head, W=wings, N= neck, A=arm, T=torso”.

I love how people claim photoshop for everything, even when they’re wrong! I also love how people are posting “first post” when they’re clearly not (I assume comments must be approved before being added – meaning you harsh critics are dealing with a nice accepting blogger).
Either way, just because you can’t see the illusion or the trick to it gives you no right to call it a bad illusion. You are merely either a bad observer, or the illusion is a tough one.
In this case it is a tough one, so it makes the negativity toward the illusion pointless.
I am starting to see the illusion myself, and its very cool!
I can see the angle, but that doesn’t look that good to me. But I can see a really perfect face which is separate from the whole thing. Really interesting photo though.
Oh and to those claiming photoshop or asking what it is, maybe try reading the description.
THAT PHOTO IS SURE A DEVIL

This is easy. It is a nebula. Any astronomer can tell that. NOT PHOTOSHOP.
its not an angel!!!!!!!! that does not look like an angel it looks like a bat!!!!!
wtf? i only see blobs of shit*y colors mixed together???
it’s a nice picture but trying to say there is an angel in here is garbage. You can take a picture of ANYTHING and claim something is in it. It’s just lame.
“Anonymous”
is stupiddd );
That is just mean. Look, don’t insult. It’s really good.
It is not a bad illusion, it isnt an optical illusion in any way, its just a paranormal photograph, but a pretty amazing one at that, the face is so clear, it really looks like something, and yet what makes it most amazing is it doesnt really resemble any typical man-made depictions of angels, it has black almost bat like wings, some sort of very low cut garment (much like Ruby Rods dress in The 5th Element), and it has an odd forward curved pointed hat, not very fashionable in terms of our worldly view of things, yet mysteriously beautiful in an other-worldly, timeless way.
Ok, those who are having trouble seeing this, which is clearly most of us, here is how to get it. To twig these, it is essential to spot the face. In this instance we have a side-on face looking left and diagonally downwards. This facial profile is small and is shown by dark brown lines against the light background. This small facial profile is made of a short combination of squigles and is only about as long as as the diameter of the lower-left-central round white spot. It the profile lines run from just above the white spot, through the white areas, up to the horzontal dark band that looks like it might be a crown studed with a two or three diamonds. A ove this crown are the pair of horn shaped objects that are indeed much larger than the face-profile. It is the remarkable compasionate-face appearance of this small part , so similar to that used in much classical religous art, of thetaht leads to it being perceived as an angel: the the much less perfect shaped wings need a little more willingness. Perhaps we are rather more looking at Icarus, shortly having flown to near to the sun?
Sure hope this helps.

Tim
Amazing! I thought Angels didnt ahve wings though, it was just to symbloize how fast they could go, its like a message from god or something!
I’m not seeing it..Maybe I’m evil…I’ve been staring at this Pic for awhile…I just not seeing it
Could someone post an actual photograph of an angel, so we can compare this ‘illusion’ to the real thing. Thanks.
For those who don´t get yet…

maybe this can help.
I see two angels, there’s a womans face and another pair of wings directly above his head
JUST FOLLOW THE OUTLINE. I DIDN’T SEE IT MYSELF, THEN AFTER I LOOKED AT THE OUTLINE – THE HEAD, NECK,TORSO DIAGRAM HELPED. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT AN “ILLUSION”-TWO CHOICES-1. A FAKE, 2. IT IS REAL AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING! AFTER I FINALLY SAW THE FACE..:o?!!? ITS HARD TO BELEIVE THIS IS A AUTHENTIC PHOTO-MEANING NO EDITING BUT IF IT IS…GLORY TO GOD! I QUESTION THE AUTHENTICITY…ONLY BECAUSE OF THE DETAIL IN THE SILHOUTTE..I MEAN…THE WINGS ARE EASY=NO BIG DEAL, BODY=EASY BUT THE FACE YOU CAN SEE SHARP FEATURES..THE FACE AND CHIN ARE OUTLINED DISTINCTLY, EYES, NOSE, THE HELMET.. EVEN HAIR UNDERNEATH THE HELMET..WOW!
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE EYES BUT CAN’T SEE..SMILE-JUST KIDDING. THE FACE PROFILE IS…RIGHT SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PHOTO-A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT..LOOKING LEFT AND DOWNWARD-THE WHITE LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE IS THE CHEST AREA,NECK AND FACE(LOOKS ALMOST LIKE A LIKE FEMALE WEARING A CORSET/BODICE):ANOTHER REASON WHY I THINK IT MIGHT BE FAKE…ANGELS DON’T HAVE A SEX!-BUT WHO SAID IT DOES HAVE A SEX??-JUST LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A WOMAN??….WOW!..EVEN ANGELS ARE CONFUSED ABOUT THIER SEXUALITY…LMAO!
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE ORIGINAL, IF THIS IS NOT, I SAW A “ORIGINAL” IN ONE OF THE COMMENTS BUT THEY HAD DRAWING ALL AROUND IT, SO IT WAS HARDE TO SEE THE ORIGINAL. EITHER WAY..BREATHTAKING PHOTO!!!
JUST WANT TO SEE THE ORIGINAL..JUST FOR MY SAKE! I ALREADY BELEIVE IN HIGHER POWERS..NOT BELIEVE..I MEAN, KNOW THEY EXIST! HAVE TOO MANY LIFE EXPERIENCES TO DENY THE FACT AND WETHER OR NOT ANYONE ELSE BELIEVES…DOESN’T MATTER….IT WILL NOT STOP OR CONTINUE TO EXIST BECUASE “YOU” DO OR DO NOT BELIEVE…lol- WE ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS…
This looks like an deep space image from the Space Telescope Hubble. The wings look exactly like a dark nebula. IT IS POSSIBLE; and I’m not attesting to that statement; BUT POSSIBLE, that the face was either airbushed in or digitally mastered with photoshop. It would be nice if the “Bible teacher” would attest to the veracity of the photo, otherwise I tend to belief it is a fabrication.
looks more like a bat to me :P
I thought it was a bat or something
This is a real picture of an angel. Cynthia S. Perry took this picture in 1989. After she took the picture and realized it was a photo of a real angel, she took the negative to get it authenticated, just for her own sanity. She wanted to be certain that there had been no tampering with the negative. I have a print from the actual authenticated negative. I believe it is a real picture of a real angel.
on the far right side near the bottom there is a face with 1 human and to aliens underneath the face… it’s not hard to find.
If you ignore the labels, and look at the “head” for a minute, it kinda looks like Sephiroth from FFVII . . . . Angel indeed!
but then agian that might just be me . . .
interesting….actually when you point out the angel it is distinguishable, but I saw 3 faces before that….strange how we all see something different, eh? take care, :-)
I can’t see it really. But, Where I can see the head it looks like it is spitting out a fire ball! Oh well.
I finally see it now that someone pointed it out. However, it’s not as clear as some of you have said it is. It took a very long time to find and even now knowing where the eye, nose and chin are, it’s not a perfectly clear image. The outlining didn’t help. It created shapes that weren’t there.
Now when I look at this photo, I see a slightly skewed face of a cherub. No wings or anything. It’s like an old painting of a cherub. Again, it’s not perfectly clear but I think that’s a better illusion than an angel which only exists when you outline it’s body and wings.
My dad has a copy of this photo at home. As he told the story, the lady who took the photo was an active street evangelist in my dad’s hometown (Seattle, Wash). While she was waiting for her date to come pick her up one night, she tried to minister to a group of thugs. Unfortunately, they raped her. Disappointed, she returned to Illinois to live with her mom. While she was out driving one night, she noticed the unique star formation in the sky, but did not realize that it was an angel. when she came to pick up the developed film days later, the man behind the counter said, “That’s a nice angel.” She had no idea what he was talking about until the man showed her the outline of the angel.
If you think I’m making this up, I’m not. Mrs. Perry told this story at my dad’s church in Washington.
P.S. If you look closer at the photo, you can see what appears to be demons around the angel. For example, in the extreme lower right corner, a face with a long tongue sticking out can be seen. Three or four demons can be found on the left side of the photo as well. Look for them!
I really dont think its an angel but try convincing some other dodo. Excuse me, how could and angel have bat wings and a horn on its head?
it’s lame.. it’s like playing that look at the clouds game and making shapes.
it’s lame.. it’s like playing that look at the clouds game and making shapes.
oh, now i see her/his eyes, nose and mouth. it took me awhile. the face is in profile. at first i thought it looked like a bat. neat.
WHAT ABOUT THE FACE IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER THAT IS LOOKING UP AND SCREAMING? DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT?
That’s scary. Very detailed face, though.
The face is very detailed, but I think everyone is trying to see a face straight on. The “angel face” is actually a profile. LIke she is looking over her shoulder.
It looks like a bat, if it’s angel then it has a big flat head.
I see Pegasus
I SEE SEVERAL DEMONS AROUND THE ANGEL! I’LL SHOW YOU TWO OF THEM,
ONE IS ACTUALLY UNDER THE ANGEL’S WINGS WHILE THE OTHER ONE IS ACTAULLY KISSING THE ANGEL ON THE CHEEK!
HOW IRONIC!

I know this is late, but I’ve held this photo in my hands before. It’s not from Seattle, it’s from California. I don’t want to give out too much info. The photo actually had the local photo place’s stamp on the back.
I never thought I’d see this picture again.
There’s other photos on that camping trip with it that show it without this effect.
i see something like a cross between a dragon/fiend/bat/demon
or if you look at it differently then its like a guy in a suit of some sort and only his head down to he upper chest is exposed
I grew up in Iowa and (like christopher glass above) held this photo in my hands… in 1993 or 1994. I was totally into photography at the time… manipulating in the darkroom AND in photoshop so I knew what it took to doctor a photo. Even I thought this was real and had been told the story of the lady driving… I also never thought I’d see it again… I actually did a search today b/c I thought about it. I was so excited to find it and kind of bummed when I read conflicting stories.
I still want to think it’s real…
I worked with Cindy Perry at Teen Challenge of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado in the early 90’s. I have a copy of the picture that she gave to me.
As to the photo’s tech aspects (I have been a professional artist, photog and filmmaker for 35 years): the picture is undoctored and I have have seen the other pics from the roll of film–no other anomalies. Cindy is an excellent photographer with good equipment. Photoshop was first marketed in 1990 and I saw the pic in 1989, so, no photoshopping.
As to Cindy’s believability. She is a very trustworthy, respectable person who has no reason to lie. In fact, I believe she is one of those people who is above reproach. She was very skeptical about the whole event–she is a rather skeptical person to begin with. She even fretted over whether she could have created some double-exposure or whatever but had no explaination. Her story was basically as described in the article, she took the pic at night on her way to her parents’ house in Iowa. She saw a beautiful scene of a starry sky reflecting in a lake and stopped to shoot the scene. Nothing spectacular.
As to seeing the “angel”–it took me a while to see it, 5 or 10 minutes of her explaining. Nut when I saw it, I was amazed. Most people take many minutes to see it. The article crudely outlines the “head” but is actually including the two “upper” wings extending over the head. Cherubim are traditionally described as having four wings (Seraphim having six).
Is it an angel? Can’t say for sure but the photo has intrigued me since I first saw it. I hope Cindy is doing well.
that aint an angel…its like a bat
this is beautiful,the outlining i think, even though very helpful, makes you see the angel a certain way..if you look closely you can see the outline of his face clearly, above his head (looks like a helmet or something)is actually a part of his wings, the bottom of his wings are not jagged they are covered by the white foggy stuff..and adding a neck that isn’t there, it is part of his chest… and it should be made mention it is a male angel..not female.. it truly is an illusion..
wtf… thats the batman symbol… :P not an angel
ok, it’s really early in the morning, so i might not be seeing what i’m suppose to, but i see a face over what is labeled head… but it is a cool picture. something you might see at the in the museum of science.
