Claude Oppikofer sent me this optical illusion few days ago. I believe her email explains it all - “Dear Vurdlak, I took a picture of this commercial poster yesterday. On the original poster it took me quite a while to see the illusion, whereas on the picture it seems very obvious. (But maybe this is only because now I know it!) Henniez is the most popular soda water in Switzerland and the text says: The water full of life. Best regards, Claude”
Let’s see how many of you spot the illusion right away. It took me few seconds before I noticed it. Who will be the first to spot it? Additionally, I would like you to check our first optical illusion category in the sidebar, more precisely - “3D Sidewalk Chalk Drawings“, see any changes? It took some time, but looks much nicer now. I started to rearrange (polish) all my categories. There will be additional small thumbnail for each illusion in their appropriate category. First category has been re-designed completely, and others will follow. Please share your opinion. I’m planning to refurbish all categories in the following weeks. Do you like these changes I did? Any suggestions? Thanks for your advice!

Spotted the illusion right away. A female springing out of the water! Very clever.
I saw it immediately on the widget thumbnail before I even came to the site to see it full size.
Wow, that is pretty cool. (First post! :P)
one of the splashes is a girl in a pretty dress with her arms in the air
Woah…thats pretty cool
I saw it the second i opened it. Anyway, good illusion. How did they manage to make it look so realistic though? Photoshop would take too long of a time, and it would be hard to make such a realistic photo. Great job though.
i think im the first post.
I saw it right away, but I think it was because I was looking for something. If I had just glanced at this ad without knowing I am not sure if I would have spotted it.
Nice one.
oh i see it! is that a naked lady?
ew.
also im the first comment yay!
Jah Man. I see the Lady in the Water!!!!
-Beverly Soto
I found it. It’s a person.
haha i saw it right away!!! (1st to comment!!)
there is the shape of a lady coming out of the splash thingy!!!!yay first comment
tht was hard tho it took a while for me to spot the lady in the splash
I saw it right away!!!!
It was cool!!!
=]
I saw it in a few seconds. It might be harder to see if the poster was quite big.
Thats awesome! there is a woman on the left and comming out of the bottom is a bird
its a woman jumping out of the water backwards (or in short: simply a woman)
saw this the first time and found it directly. Nice Illusion anyway..
Pretty cool.
Oh! I see it! Cool :)
its a lady
i found the illusion. it took some time though
yay for photomanip
a lady with her arms spread.. i wish i cud see her nipples but no.. still nice illusion:D
Once I looked at the thing properly I saw it immediately.
There is the image of a woman in the splash. She appears to be doing a ‘victory V’
Thats cool lady in the water.
Oh! I see it, it took me a minute, but it’s not too hard. I like it :)
Hmm, is it the chick-looking splash of water? :D
This is a nice one.
The buxom lady is only one of at least five “people” I’ve found.
If you look at the back of “Buxom’s” left leg, you’ll see a male’s face (nose behind her knee) in “negative” looking left.
In front of “Buxom’s” right leg is another, though smaller, male head and shoulders (also looking left).
In front of this little man is another female form that looks a bit like Marilyn Monroe (looking over her left bare shoulder with her robe dropping).
Following the pour of water up from Marilyn’s head is a foot, leg, and torso with a head and face still taking form.
I’ve also spotted a little surfer, the Shroud of Turin’s face, and a few other possibilities.
While some of this may come from watching clouds as a kid, but the ad text does say “The water full of life.” not just one life.
Or I could just be crazy, or a dog. On the Internet, you really can’t tell, now can you?
You should check out old coke can vending machines…. in the ice on te can there are many people and things to see. a woman on her siade… and a couple others. :)
Cool! its a lady out of the water. It could ALSO be a swan (look at the big picture)
Yes! There is a liquid woman!
Cool. Lady in the water, but I also see a mermaid pouring out of the bottle, a child’s upper torso and legs sticking out and grabbing the mermaid’s tail.
Or am I just crazy?
-Liza the fire signa
I see a little horsey close to the girls legs on the left side and a small kid standing with his hands spread apart on one of the two small troughs on the right. Anybody?
didn’t take me long to see the lady.
The lady became obvious to me as soon as I scrolled down on the pic! How can it take someone without visual impairment time to notice that? And someone here did beat me to the Propel ads. I thought the same thing and was like hey, who got the concept from who? Maybe Propel took it from Henniez…
that is really cool! it is obviously photoshopped though
A seemingly naked woman jumping backwards out of the splash. Saw it almost immediately ;)
does no one else see the guy right beside her leg? it looks like he’s on a surfboard…. i wonder if i AM the only one that see’s this.
TOO EASY!
how could anyone not see it ?????????
easy but cool :)
That’s really cool! the second i looked at the splash i saw the girl diving out and a few seconds later i saw a guy looking like he’s on a surfboard… Great illusion!!
HOW MANY 1ST COMMENTERS ARE THERE? to easy but cool
