Probably triggered by recent articles: spinning girl and spinning man, one of our visitors named Daniel, submitted this photo and named it The Water Man. I believe Daniel also saw one of our previous billboard illusions titled “The Water Full of life“, and wanted to provide similar, masculine version. Previous (feminine) illusion was very similar in it’s nature, and pictured a water shape of a woman with her arms spread wide in the air. I don’t think I need to point where the illusion hides, but would like to let Daniel describe how his photo was born: “Hi, now that the Olympics are very close, you might consider this picture for your blog. I took it few days ago on a Golf Club near Karlsruhe in Germany. First time when I saw it it, it looked like there was a man bowling! Regards, Daniel”. Can you see the same thing? Remember, this is a photo of a water tap, not frozen ice like I first presumed.

The man is bowling with a human skull!
I don’t exactly see the whole picture, but i see the basic shape of a guy bowling…it does looks a lot like ice o___o
is it just me or is the water like…splitting in half…?
kind of weird, but cool.
uhhm, first comment? (maybe.) :D
Wow that’s a good one. At first i thought it was a male figure with abstract proportion. But now i can see the man bowling despite his terrible bowling posture.
woah, you can see the mans head nearer to the bottom. Saw it right away
That is one nice illusion, specially since its from a water tap.
nice illusion :D
Great photograph!! I should brag that I got first post, because there are currently no posts. But then I would look like a moron when someone posted earlier in the day and their comment hasn’t gotten approved.
Maybe i’m blind, but i cannot see any man in this picture/illusion…
Pretty cool, especially if it’s real ;) Anyway, Mighty Magic Tricks should be restored. As I’ve said before. If you need someone to run it I will, I already have a lot of tricks which would fit the site :D
blah, keep it real mighty illusions, come on now
Really disapointing. Not even close.
Cool! If it’s not photoshopped it is even more cool!

Hmmm….A water man. I sure hope there aren’t any in my water!
Thats so cool….ok, kinda cool.
Is this one of those capri sun commercials?
Looks like someone dribbling a basketball
siiiiick
1st comment and that is cool!
I love these, thank you Daniel. I am confused though, you state that YOU took this photo at a golf course and then you state it is not frozen ice like I first presumed. If you took the photo, wouldn’t you know it was water and not ice?
Very nice!
This is really neat.
1st !! yay love the illusion
unlike it’s feminine version , this one is 100% photoshopped
First!
Kind of scary, the way the face looks….
1st comment?
anyway….thats so cool!!
this is not even an illusion. its aubviously photoshopped.p.s. misspelled. p.p.s.1st comment?
Cool! I wonder how he got it to be clear when it was out of a water tap . . .
First comment? Cool this is awesome but i think it’s photo shop

Wow, that’s very cool. If it’s not photoshopped at all like the story suggests), then colour me impressed!

First!!!!!!!!! Anyways…does anyone else see a face of a man smiling really big? It kind of looks like a mask…its right below the “arm” …I guess where the “legs” would be. I don’t know, maybe I’m just seeing things…but I definately see a face.
I see it. It’s pretty good.
Well… I’m not sure… this kind of water effects can be done easily in Photoshop if you know how to use it.
I see two, I see an outline of a person in a cloak, and then the one they want you to see.
I like this one.
what??? I don’t see any man at all…
1st post pretty cool photoshop though.
i love trenton jones
how the hell?
first post
Great imagination! I can see the man bowling near the bottom. Wow!
at first i thought it was gonna be one of those illusions where you can’t tell if the water comes towards you or goes away..
two in one!
great picture!!! The right time, in the right place.
