Visitor of ours sent me this relaxing photo of a beautiful Hacienda. However, there is one (obviously hidden) thing in it. You’ll have no problem spotting it. How long did it take? A second or two seconds maybe? Even more?? If you don’t spot this one immediately, you can’t consider yourself an optical illusion expert :D I don’t know if this thing was made for fun, or the poster was actually used as an advertisement for this product (check the link only after you’ve spot the hidden object). The style author used, greatly reminds me of the Digital Swimming Pool illusion.

  9. Memeee says:

    Look at the Picture when it is smaller, than it is obvious

  10. It was actually the first thing I noticed.

  11. Ed says:

    Can someone please tell me what is the illusion here? It is just a pool with beautiful grass, sky and villa.

  12. Ed says:

    Never mind, I think I found it. It’s the invisible man who jumped into the pool which explains the splash.

  13. Dawna says:

    I am an office manager at a for a tobacco wholesale. Maybe, that’s why I noticed it just as I looked at the picture. It’s is obviously an advertisement for Camel cigarettes.

  14. lol says:

  22. Justice193 says:

    saw it instantly, pretty cool illusion that’s really easy to switch back and forth between what you see depending on where you look :)

  23. Hannah says:

    I think its an ad for camel, seen lots like that with fire in the shape of one and stuff, cool though :D

    4th

  24. Trixie says:

    I didn’t see it initially either – the name of the image is a dead give-away though. ;)

  25. kia says:

  40. Dr. Chos says:

  47. i had to zoom out the page then i got it immediatly

  48. peace-angel says:

    Too easy.

  49. Dolphin says:

    I saw it as soon as I looked at it.Very nice.I like it.

  50. CC says:

    ~C.C

  51. mike says:

    wtf is it???? and how come im second to comment??

  52. galloots says:

    is it a camel in the trees?
    i couldn’t find it for 5 min…

  53. Shayna says:

    is it the splash in the swimming pool?

  54. Fred says:

    This is very creative photography. At first I thought it was shopped but I found no obvious evidence in a quick zoom. If altered, it was done skillfully. This appears to be an example of why I have always contended that photography is an excellent, if not perhaps difficult medium in which to portray illusion. It takes a creative mind and a sharp eye to recognize potential illusory effects in any particular view. In this example the effect is visible from one perspective. In order to capture the image, one would need to be close to the exact location to the subject to see it or be able to recognize the potential from any other angle.
    Thumbs up.

  55. Dolphin says:

    I saw it as soon as I looked at it.Very nice.I like it

  56. Ryan says:

    I don’t see anything at all o_O??

  57. suri says:

    A decent photoshop job. Palm trees normally bend towards the general wind direction in the area and dont grow in all directions. Though direction can be manipulated with the way the tree is planted cant do so with the height. The shadows look a bit awkward with tall and short trees with the same length of shadow

  58. Tristan says:

    just above the pool is an airplane, made out of the steps and beach chairs

  59. Kamil Nowak says:

    At First I thought The pool was a 2d painting on the ground. Then I thought, ‘Isn’t it a little weird having palm trees growing in grass? Then I looked at the Thumbnail image and I saw the SPOILER ALERT
    !
    !
    !
    !
    camel!

  60. tb20 says:

    I don’t see it:-( what is it?

  61. Nizati says:

    I looked at the mini version from my gadget and wondered what an optical illusion had to do with a green camel :P hehe.

  62. N says:

    im a bit dissapointed that its not an Illusion of the day anymore its like Illusion of the couple of days! make 1 a day vurd, its not that hard….

  63. funny says:

    cool i saw it right away lol

  64. Oh, I saw it right away but had to think for few seconds to check if what is see is correct :) Great work !

  65. Archana Suresh says:

    Very nice…

  66. servilan42 says:

    One really obvious illusion and I found one not so obvious. Pretty cool.

  67. Nora says:

    help! i own i’m not an expert! where/what is it?

  68. Nora says:

    oh. it’s a camel. got it.

  69. chris says:

    i didn’t see it at first.
    2 tell the truth, i logged off the site, because i thought it was that illusion where that guy jumps out of that empty room & screams

  70. Jake O'Neill says:

    lol that looks funny

  71. Bad Breath says:

    A camel! :-) Although the picture itself isn’t very “real” looking!

  72. NeeL says:

    I’ve spotted the illusion! That explosion on the rooftops on the right looks like a cloud in the background!

    It’s even fun to come here and look at the obvious illusions. :)

  73. ky says:

    the only reason i found it was because i scrooled ovr the photo nd it said palm-tree camel.

  74. Jilly says:

    people, you blind???….xD it’s a camel…haha

  75. Terra says:

    Jeez, I knew there was something up with the trees, but I couldn’t figure out what it was!

    That was a good one!

  76. ali says:

    That’s weird, I commented before but it didn’t show up. It took me about half a second to see the camel… although then I wondered if that wasn’t the illusion because it was so obvious. Clicking the other links in the main post that were all camel-themed though made me quite sure that’s all there was to this one.

  77. derrick says:

    the trees form a camel in the middle. the leaves are the camels body and the trunks are the legs

Speak Your Mind

You can add some images too.
