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!

YAYAY I Found it!!!!! and first comment!!
wow its so obvious now that ive found her
WOAH!! There’s a lady diving out of the splash!
wow, it is a girl that is kinda cool. once i looked at the splash i saw it right away.
Took my friend a while. I got it right away. Very cool effects
Is it the womens body that is formed with the splash??? If so thats pretty cool
Very nice :D
I can see the “illusion” but I won’t reveal what it is.
Now that I know where/what it is I can’t seem to stop seeing it!
Oh, and very good improvements to the pavement drawings section :D
Yay 1st comment
Saw it right away…. a female body
I see it now, water full of life. I like it but it took me a while.
Saw it very quickly. Nice illusion, too.
I THINK I see the illusion. Because of physics, water should move in parabolic motion. However the water isn’t moving in parabolic motion. Instead, it’s going towards the source. Also, the water is going up at a certain spot where the water isn’t falling. I hope that’s the illusion. O_O LOL.
It took me a while to see a woman with in the splash.
this is an easy one it actually jumps out at u
Kind of reminds me of the Propel ads touting water for active people. Try this link.

If that doesn’t work just go to You Tube and search ‘Propel (Mineral Water) Ad’. That should bring it up. Kevin
Didn’t notice it at first but once I looked closer I could see it. Cool picture!
It’s quite easy
its a woman in the splash!!! thats so cool
Wow, that is awesome! It only took me about 2 seconds, I really like it. I have never commented on here, but look everyday. I really like your postings!
You mean water i’nt flowing straight down, but in curves!
(Or do belive in jumping mermaids without fishtails? ;-)
Thats freakin AWESOME!!
When I saw the thumbnail, I couldn’t see it right away. I looked at the article with the full-view version and I saw it right away. Nice illusion, kinda fits with the commercial. If you look closely, there’s a woman sculptured in the splash of water.
Well that’s a tad too obvious!
cool
yey first post
cool illusion. I see a lady stretching out her arms.
I just love those subliminal advertisings. Found one similar for a Coca Cola ad the other day.
Brilliant!
One Second. It was way too obvious!
lovely ad indeed.
All I see is the nude female and the little child ….! is that right?
cheers
great illusion. i like intelligent commercials!
And… i bet, this post is going to hit the 100 comments mark because there is a naked woman in the illusion :-)
Didn’t spot it immediately… Nice one!
ahhhh haha i see it! its quite clever actually. good work.
There is a woman in the splash. Arms up.
Dear Vurdlak,
I love your changes in the first category! Now i can easily find all the illusions I havent seen. Thanks!
Today’s illusion is also great – it took me few seconds to spot it …
Maja
It’s a lady jumping out of the water, looks really good and realistic…
I just scrolled down and POOF i saw it, very easy illusion. But cool ^^
Oh i get it….lady in the water.
Is it the water curves that are physically impossible?
is it the girl?? its cool ^^
Sorry for my bad english…however i think the illusion is on the right “splash” of water…i can see a woman right there with open arms
Took me a few seconds, but I see her now. Very good, I like it =]
Saw it straight away quite an easy one we have similar one’s here in england.
I can see it woo!
Very subtle though.
Looks nice too *wink*
i saw it before i even read your description
Women in water
Nice one just look at the water ;) nice Ad from this company
Nice one. Beautiful ;) nice Ad from this company
The illusion is that of a lady bouncing off the water.
Got it!!! the girl!!
Cheers

First of all let me say that I truly enjoy checking this webpage everyday. We all need a little “fun” stuff to help us get through our work days.
As far as the changes to the page, I absolutely love the thumbnail images. It enables me to see which ones I’ve seen and which ones are new. I can’t wait to be able to check out all the rest of the categories without clicking on all the individual links. It is a definate improvment. Keep up the great work!

Be it a person jumping out of the water?
It wasn’t that hard to see.
Cool! Took me some time to see it…
in fact it’s a still from a video advertisment you can see here : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2phe2_henniez_ads
its a woman in the bigger splash
Is this an illusion?
I think its just a good example of photoshop skills.
COOL! There is a whoman in the water. WOOT, first comment!
Why is it always a woman?
woah! there’s a person jumping out of the water! that’s so cool!
I have figured it out. look at the part where the water splashes out towards the right. you would be able to see a girl jumping out of the water with her arms outstreached.
very cool
I noticed it right away. Pretty cool.
I also want to say that I like your revampnesses…is that a word? hehehe. Love this site!
I see a man leaping out of the water with life, like in 3 secs
Saw it straight away but its really good!
First to spot it!!! Nice illusion. It really is full of life huh?
Rainbow Demon
Very easy to spot after reading the email.
lovely :]
a naked chick? anything else?
Very cool, I like this one.
ya i saw it right away
nice
it’s fairly obvious, but still a really nicely done advertisement.
is it mother earth? :P
Their’s a “living” lady coming out of the splash!!! that’s so cool!!
I really like this one.. i didnt have any trouble spotting the illusion..
I love this site :)
I don’t get it. HELP!
okay as soon as i posted that comment i saw it! lol its good!
Actually, that’s pretty cool.
Took me a while to notice the woman diving out of the surface, but hey…
The woman is jumping with the joy of being alive. Nice one.
It’s A woman
The figure of the lady on the right hand side… very nice.
dude, this isn’t even an illusion!
optical illusion: an optical phenomenon that results in a false or deceptive visual impression.
but the representation shown is a manipulated photo, and there really is a human form in the water splashes.
I’m just wondering if she’s naked.
