I got this interesting spot the object illusion in my mailbox yesterday. It is spot the object illusion, like many others, but really good. Not only do you have to spot all the faces in this tree below, you also have to guess who they represent. Since the image is called “National Leaders Tree“, I believe the faces represent leaders of the big countries like America, Russia, England, Yugoslavia etc. I think that the image is somehow old, since the faces I see in the tree’s branches aren’t really familiar. Our older visitors will have more luck guessing those, and probably teach us. However, maybe I was wrong and I got completely wrong impression of the illusion below. Is that Queen of England or Margaret Thatcher, Churchill, Tito, Stalin, or have I gone bananas? How many faces can you spot?

    upper left…Mahatma Gandhi? Stalin below that? I see 8 faces, but don’t recognize many.

    Well Gandhi is definitely the one at the very top an the left!

    10 but only 3 i recognize

  7. Chakolate says:

    Okay, I think the woman at bottom right is Golda Meir. At the top left is Gandhi. In the middle on the left might be Nehru. The bottom left might be Eisenhower, but if it is, it’s a bad one.

    In the middle of the right looks like Trotsky.

    The others look like Russian leaders to me, but I can never remember which is which.

    Those I can identify make me think this is from the Cold War, say late 50s or early 60s.

    10 by my count, and I only recognize Ghandi, Stalin, and that might possibly be Eisenhower down there. I’m young, though, so I’m probably wrong.

  10. Zack says:

    I see 10 too..Ghandi and Stalin are the only ones I can make out though…fun illusion, at first I though it was just the 2 faces at the bottom and wasn’t very impressed..

  11. MatthewC says:

    Found 11… Liked it but the bottom could have been a little less obvious and the left face made more realistic… Or do you get floating branches where the artist lives?

    Thanks Vurdlak :P

    Please… please… stop guessing…
    These are all Indian Leaders.
    Topmost on the tree is the Father of our Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. Just below him on the left is Bal Gangadhar Tilak. Facing Tilak is Rabindranath Tagore. Our first Prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, is just below Tilak, facing towards south-west. Just below Tagore is Subhash Chandra Bose, facing North west. Then there is Bhagat Singh facing just opposite to S.C.Bose, both of them are sharing backside of their head with each other in this pic. Our first President Rajendra Prasad is just below Nehru is facing him. Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy, our third President is facing Bhagat Singh. At the bottom of the picture, the face on the left of the trunk of the tree is of Rajiv Gandhi, our youngest Prime minister, and on the other side is Mrs. Indira Gandhi, our first lady Prime Minister.

    Nobody got Teddy Roosevelt because that’s Gandhi. Do you even know what Roosevelt looked like other that the glasses? Broad face, Squinty eyes, Bushy mustache, not at all like Gandhi.

    I see 10, maybe an 11th but I don’t think so. Some faces look familiar but to be honest I really don’t care to know who any of them are!

    i saw 11…..am i crazy or is there a really smushed face up there too, and if so does that count?

  45. Mango13 says:

    Y’know folks, i think it’s meant to be more kinda representative. A matter of opinion. Some of them might be modelled on certain people, but they all have that generic touch which makes us able to make them into who we want them to be.

    Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru ,Netaji Subhash Chandra Basu, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Raja Rammohan Roy etc.

  50. Baba says:

    debolina mukherjee is right…All are indian leaders. The names are right too. The image was created by an Indian called Saurabh who is a simple illusion artist in India.
