This is what came in few weeks ago from Peter Taylor from York, UK: “Hi I love your site and go into it everyday through my Google gadget. I took this photo the other night, but only when viewing it later did I realize I could see a face looking back at me. It’s not the greatest illusion, but on the bottom right (where the grass and clouds interact) you can see what vaguely looks like a face. Do you see it’s eyes, nose & mouth? This has had no manipulation done on it. Perhaps if it did, I could make it look even better. Keep up the good work. Your optical illusion of the day is a good start to a normal working day for me. Regards, Peter Taylor”

Creepy looking sorta
Took me a minute to see, but that really looks like Obama!
I think i see it… really nice photography anyway.
Beautiful picture. Very peaceful.
nice picture dude!! its so cool
It looks like the watermark (ghost) on a five dollar bill! Very nice photography, I really like it.
OBAMA! HAHAHAA! Nah, I thought it looked more like McCain. =)
The 5 dollar watermark seems more accurate.
Awesome photo, by the way.
oh my gosh, everytime there is a hidden face illusion some idiot has to claim it looks like Obama.
Nice photograph, but seriously people it’s an illusion it’s not “Obama’s face!!!”
i don’t see the face…. :(
i think its all the way on the right just above the horizon?? are the clouds the eyes, nose and mouth? well, if i’m wrong, could someone point it out?
it looks more like a skull
i see Heath Ledger!
The way the human percetual system works is by making patterns out of background “noise”. The “face” is what we have been preprogrammed to percieve. The illusion is in our minds.
It seems very few people read the description before leaving comments. Nice picture though, beautiful Yorkshire.
That’s pretty rubbish. Stare at your carpet and you will see a face. I don’t think this is purposeful.
It really does look like Obama! Wierd that he is at the far right of anything!

Spot on – I was about to say much the same thing before I saw this comment…
We are basically “hard wired” to see faces; we create them in the foliage of trees, in clouds, the Moon… even the brown discolouration of a toasted cheese sandwich caused quite a stir (and a bidding war on Ebay!) because someone saw “the Face of Jesus” in their breakfast! :-/
*yawn*
Hmmm, yeah, a face, yeah …
*yawn*
