What each blogger experiences throughout his writing career, and what is currently happening to me is a lack of motivation and writer’s block. I’m kind of a webmaster that keeps his motivation by constantly “inventing” something, and having new ideas for this site. Don’t get me wrong – I’m perfectly aware this site is far from being perfect, but somehow I’m not particularly sure where to tunnel my motivation next. This is where you jump in: I would like as many of you possible, to suggest me what would you like to see more of on this website. Is it more optical illusions articles, new template functions, more videos? Featured games maybe? The idea I’m stuck with for some time now, is figuring how to find professional writers to help me write new articles. I’m capable of paying for each article, but I’m very picky about who I let access to this website. Is it so hard to find a person that does a good job writing stuff, had some experience with Wordpress and would like to get payed for their work? Apparently it is. But let’s not change the subject. What I’m asking from you (apart from spotting the hunter’s prey in the optical illusion below), is to post your suggestions and ideas what would you like to see on this website, and keep moillusions.com as one of your favorite online destinations? Help me get some tasks, and I’ll be more than glad to brainstorm and figure out how to implement them.
Help the hunter find his prey...

cool illusion! I love coming to this website. I think you should keep going with illusions. I find it interesting reading your articles about their origin/history then having the experience of seeing them/finding the missing piece/what’s wrong/etc.
i’m not getting this one at all ..
the hunter is standing on it….
Just close your eyes (allmost) and a duck will appear, allmost over the entire image
All I see is a shadow of a duck in flight underneath the rapid/waterfall facing the hunter….
His prey is the goose. You can see the goose’s head to the right of the hunters right foot, and then just follow the dark outlines and you should see it.
Ohh and you can make a iPhone gadget for illusion of the day
Well, I got the fisherman 1 instantly, but this 1 eludes me. I was looking for another person or somthing. But all I came up with was SPOILER!>>>>>A very large duck.<<<<<SPOILER!
What does every1 think? Am I crazy? Or is that shore the ducks body, the water fall it’s tail, andthe green patch by the hunters feet his head? (I say “his” because only malards have that color)
The hunter is standing on the neck of the duck the dog is the white collar the shore is the wing span.
nice one… i see the bird. great site by the way… love your igoogle widget :)
Just guessing, but I think the big dark brown patch looks like a bear lying down as if it were a “bear rug”. I love the illusions! Keep it up.
I’m not sure… but is that brown area an elk or something. And the bushes are it’s antler??
If you were going to pay for anything, I would suggest paying artists for original optical illusions. I am sure that there are many starving artists out there who would love to make a couple of bucks for their art, especially in this economy. They could also write a bit about themselves and their art as the intro to the picture. Getting their art seen on a popular website like this would be an added bonus.
My favorite types of illusions are the M.C. Escher-like stuff, especially when it is combined into an interesting picture.
This is a wonderful site. I will continue to love it even if it is not changed at all.
Keep up the good work!
I like the idea of changeable templates, you know, every visitor would able to change the color of the website’s layout!
Take a look at metallica.com, which has something like that.
I inserted my website wrong… maybe a “edit comment” button is a good idea as well..
Don’t get me wrong, I love this site!
suprising nobody sees the second prey. The brown part in the left bottom corner is a rabbit! He’s laying on his side, his ears towards the hill!
keep up the good work! love these illusions!
Ummm…elk? Rabbit? No way. Just a duck. I see what u guys r calling an elk an rabbit but they’re just not clear enough. There’s no way those were intentional. Now ur just finding shapes the same way kids do when looking at clouds.
Just as Serj said. You should make an ipod touch/iphone app!
Of course there is a RABBIT. In fact the rabbit was the first thing I saw.
Look closely.
It’s a duck, innit?
Lol, I saw it when the mouse went over the picture and the ALT-text appeared: “d49duck”
Looks more like a goose to me, though.
Nice one. =)
I checked out some t pages from Mexico City where my uncle is an artist this one was interesting and fun like your work always is hope your block will come down we all get them I know you must have much more to give us we do love your creative way of showing us things of the mind which others cannot express.http://www.arte-mexico.com/artist.htm
This is great site. Please stop beating yourself up!
It’s the dog that’s running away from him :O
Well…
Personally i see a giant snake head !! :S
Squint, then look at the land just below the sun!
Anyone else see it?
:S
finally get it. the dirt is it’s body
I think there’s definitely an elk’s head in the picture and… a boar. The dog is it’s nose and the dog’s legs are it’s front teeth.
But I cannot see the snake :(
It’s deffinately a mallard. The man’s shadow is the head and the dirt is the body.
I have a suggestion for your articles: I think you should separate the introduction and the description of the illusion itself into two chunks.
You should have one paragraph where you talk about whatever you want to talk about before you get down to the actual illusion in question.
Then you should have a heading, and below that heading is where you “get to the point” so to speak. This paragraph should be as concise as possible.
The reason I make this suggestion is that there are many articles where you do a lot of writing about things that don’t realate to the illusion. But I’m sure many people will just want to quickly get to the illusion itself, especially if they are just scanning through a few illusions and want to quickly find out what the “point” is of each one.
Having two separate parts to your article will allow people who just want to get to the illusion to skip down to the essentials, while people who enjoy reading everything you have to say will be able to read the whole thing.
In either case, breaking up a large amount of text into two chunks can only be a good thing.
So, here’s my example of how I would split up one of your articles:
Russian Living Statues Collection
Probably you grew bored from all those Ultimate Galleries I’ve posted during the past week, never the less – I’m sure you’ll love this one. At least if you have nerves going through each photo in this gallery. But before we continue, I’d like to show you an interview I did for Environmental Graffiti website. The interview can be found here. If you have a spare minute, I welcome you to read it and you are invited to post your comments here (you may even see a nasty photo of me). Now let’s explain what all those photos are doing here. If you visited any major Europe city over the past decade, I’m sure you’ve came across all those people who pretend to be a statues, standing on the street somewhere in downtown, during the summer. They are usually painted in gold, standing so still that you hardly can believe they aren’t statues at all. By freaking out the passers by, they earn some spare coins. English Russia reported that all those performers came to Russia recently, more precisely they visited city of Sochi to participate in the biggest Living Statues Contest, the world has ever seen.
THIS ILLUSION…
Now these “living statues” bring our Body Paint category to the next level, don’t they? Which of them do you think did the best disguising job? Which one did you favor the most? Tell me, tell me!
i think thy are after the crocodile hidden on left side of the stream…its body is somewhat covered with mud….
Just close your eyes slightly, not all the way. Then you’ll see it
Singlish talk!!! aiyoo… why u go put the word duck when put mouse over the picture!!! Like it?
woah!nice! he’s standing on the ducks head!just squink a little and you’ll know what i mean

Just wanted to say that. I saw the rabbit first and after reading the comments discovered the duck also.And i thought the rabbit is too big…lol
if you squint your eyes you will see a duck
great site.. just needs more cowbell.
it is a duck but it seems if you look again a puma or a tiger something like that facing right
From the photo from my point i think it is a duck !
Just close your eyes slightly, not all the way. Then you’ll see it
