Can you see the head of a hearding dog Collie in this photo above?
I am more than certain how those of you that came to this article via your optical illusion widgets saw the illusion immediately! Rest of us (Festivus, the illusion for the rest of us!) will need an explanation before we see it. It all began when Joe Faircloth sent me a photo, taken in front of the local bridal-wear shop in Newtown Powys, UK. Joe asked me a simple question, whether I can see a Colli in his simple shot?
What do you see?
In the beginning I almost ditched the submission, thinking there is nothing interesting about it (you have to remember we get dozen of submissions daily – not all of them qualify), but then a simple coincidence made me see it. As most of you know, Gmail has a built-in function, which previews the thumbnail of the attached pictures and files. While I couldn’t see anything in the full-size photo Joe sent me, I saw the dog’s head perfectly when the shrinked version appeared! To picture you what happened, I made a similar thumb and added it to the right. Remember, original picture I received was 5 times bigger than the version I posted above… Can you see it now? If you still have problems, try shrinking the image – or check how it looks inside your preferred widget.

This was difficult :)
if the picture is blurred you see it much faster!!
HOLY MOLY THAT WAS HARD. i was sitting here going AHHHHH I CANT FLIPPING SEE ITTTTTT. i had to scroll down and find clues and everything! then i FINALLY saw it. only a little bit though! lol
i didnt see it till i went to rub my left eye lol

Yesterday I saw this and I can’t see it… But finally I realised that the man’s hand is the dog’s nose.

If you have photoshop and run a gaussian blur you can see it better or you can just squint your eyes and get a similar effect.
I GOT IT WITHIN THE FIRST SECOND THE PIC POPED UP CUZ IM ALL LIKE WHATS A COLLIE?
THEN WHEN THE PIC POPPED UP IM ALL LIKE AWHH A PUPPY
BTW IM A 12 YR OLD GIRL
xD
OHHH!! i see it for those having problems
the guys hand is the dogs noes,
peoples heads are eyes and ears of the dog and
the mans body/suit is the dogs upper body
it isnt a lassie collie it is a border collie
The dog is looking right at you. The man’s hand is the black of the dog’s nose.
That one was a bit of a stretch.
So…here we are again. WARNING: Spoiler.
so i looked for a really long time and didn’t see it until i stood up at my comp, I have a flat laptop screen to look at so throwing the brightness off a bit made it pop out like crazy. and it’s not just part of the picture like is circled above, it’s the whole image except the writing. The image goes all the way out to the sides of the ears being the back of the people’s heads and then you get a bit of the dog’s shoulder in the man’s shirt, and also it’s a St. Bernard not a collie … looks just like Beethoven.
this is one of those illusions where you can’t imagine how you didn’t see it before!!! XD
