Frankly, I have no idea who the duck Richard Stoltzman is, nor I want to google him like many of you would angrily suggest (probably just in spite my defiance is talking), but the fact is that this image below contains one awesome optical illusion. I would like to thank the person who sent me this, but am not able to decipher his “reply to” email address. In my mailbox, I see the sender as: “@mailinator.com Marct <m8r-gvr6mg>“. How can this even be a valid email address? Is it some sort of error gmail produced, or does it have something to do with secret government headquarters or PGP encryption? Would love to hear your thoughts. As there was nothing more than a picture attached inside the message, I’m not able to provide any more info. If you have problems spotting the illusion, look for a seagull – he should help your eye. If you still can’t find it, check the second hint.

There are a number of faces. The obvious one formed from the opening in the cliff face with the bird as eye, on the rock opposite that face’s mouth and chin is the face of a bearded man: looks like a Highlander or a turbaned Indian: to teh left and lower, right beside the bearded man’s shoulder, there is the top half of a face (more Italian looking): dark hair, eyes, strong nose and perhaps a moustache. Above the Highlander face is a rather demonic looking face/mask and above that, at the top of the underside of the arch, what looks to me like a mother or culd be Christ with child held, affectionaltely, close. I think I am seeing faces in teh highlights of teh rock but this couild be merely like those one sees in nature/patterns anyway: like a host of folk to teh left of the left hand side of the arch: almost likelooking into a throng of spectators or into a busy street: the people are not relating to each other. Much the same on the rock at right hand side of the arch.
great pic. There are websites that let you back trace emails. You should look for them.
That email address belongs to a temporary account that was create using mailinator which is a website that lets you enter your email address to sign up for things and then creates temporary inboxes every time you get a message so that your inbox is never full of Spam. Here is the web address http://www.mailinator.com/
if u look at the top of the lump of rock on the right side u can see a face looking down
This is sweet, we have a guy making out with a chick and a random face in the gap.
It’s a woman who is lying on top of an Indian who is lying on top of Ben Franklin who has a seagull stuck in his eye.
I live about 10 miles from here. Yes it’s Durldle Door.

Mailinator is a dispensable e-mail provider, so you can delete the e-mail at will.
This is Ben Franklin, guys.
What is the eye consisting of?
My sister was a huge fan of Stoltzman, he’s like Kenny G, but with a clarinet instead of a saxophone, and it’s classical music, not smooth jazz.
Now that I think about it, I could have said he’s like Gene Simmons except without the bass and makeup, but with an orchestra instead of KISS LOL
Look between the rocks, It’s Geronimo with his feathers in his hair.
Nice.. AN Indian head.
oh!oh!oh! i know look closly its a hand picking up something (see that light at the right)
and aslo a head???
you can see also like some giant is coming out of water and the right stone is his hand whereby he’s pushing himself up
This is cool like a bird for the eye of the Native American, add the Indian has the sprit of the an Eagle, free brave adn strong.
I shall call him Egle Eye
