One of the most popular Australians that ever lived – Steve Irwin, also known as “Crocodile Hunter” is main actor of today’s optical illusion. I have to admit, Irwin wasn’t my dearest documentary actor before the tragic event took place. Those of you who don’t know the story, Steve died in 2006 after his chest was fatally pierced by a stingray barb, while filming in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. When this happened, half of the planet was in sorrow. I too shared the compassion – even though I wasn’t a fan of Steve’s acting style. This is simply because he was obviously a very good man, and unspoilt by nature, at least this is my view of him. So in the tribute, I post this nice afterimage I found yesterday. You can see this black and white photo in color, if you simply stare at the white dot in the center. After a minute, the image will automatically change to colorful negative. Keep starring at the dot. Next time the image changes, it will switch back to black and white photo (again), but you’ll be able to see it in full color. This effect happened, because colorful negative has slightly “burnt” in your retina, and will stay like this for few seconds, which is enough for you to see the original b&w photo in color!

Well, i like it.
lol so coool
WOWOWOWOWOW Im sorry for all those who can’t see it,or so stupid to no give the respect to such an amazing job
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To all a**holes who don’t read the instructions and say this is photoshoped. PLEASE STFU you look at the dot when it turns negative, keep staring until it chages back. You will see it in COLOR. To prove its not photoshoped and there is not a colored photo there, stare somewhere else on the picture IT WILL NOT WORK!
Hey try this, its neat. Cover one eye with your hand when you’re looking at the colored image. Then when it switches to gray, look at it for a sec with the open eye, then switch to the other eye. One eye will see color, the other wont. :]
WHOA :O
So weird! I saw it in color then looked again, then it was black and white, and then stared where the white dot was while really not looking at the picture, and the color was there again! Really cool!
Vurdlak have you started making fun of your blog visitors, with adding something stupid like this?
This is actually fake. Hate to break it to you. But this picture is actually set on a timer changing colors on the set time. Not an optical illusion. If you look above the screen of your computer and or look away for a few moments and look back, the dang picture will still be colored. Optical Illusion?? I think not. Nice try.
This is actually real.Hate to break it to you.
Idiot. How come if it does different timings? If you dont stare at the dot, it lasts less than it did while staring at the dot. Does it automatically know when you are looking at a certain part? I think not. YOU’RE THE IDIOT.
First of all, this is an awesome picture. Second of all, let people have some fun believing its cool! Just because you don’t like it means you have to make everybody else hate it.
Love this site!
awesome but wat if he eats him
r u sure it isnt just computer tech?
FVCK THATS AMAZING!
WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS!?!?!?
this is fake. i had scrolled down and was reading comments and scrolled back up and it was blue, i scrolled back down, waited awhile and once again it turned for black and white to once again blue. and it did this a couple times. at first i though OMG THATS FRICKING AMZING, and now i feel dumb for believing it. haha
