Tony Ward mailed me this interesting illusion. First time I saw it, I tought to myself: “Right, another count the horses illusion – nothing new”! But what struck me was next email Tony sent to me. There is actually something hidden in picture itself. Can you see it? I didn’t until Tony priovided outlined picture solution. Open the image full size and try locating the illusion (it isn’t the birds!)
This is what Tony Ward sent in his first email: “This one I’ll always love, not just because its a beautiful piece of art,but because I had thought for a long time that it was catagorised as an optical illusion simply due to the way the horses fade into the picture one side and fade out, changing into a flock of birds, the other side…. Then, one day I saw it, the hidden illusion, and it blew me away….”
There were few very simmilar illusions posted in the past here.
Oh, I see. Yeah, That’s really cool. It took me a moment, but i saw it. Nice post.
Ps. If you can’t see what’s hidden, it’s in the middle of the picture.
OOO I think i see it! My friend would love this pucture!
I see an …

Where is it? The horses look really cool, but I can’t find any illusion, although it looks like there ought to be something in the middle there. Help!
i dont see it
Dx i dun see’s it!
can someone tell me wat the illusion is, plz
ummmm…nice horses…but what is the middle supposed to be exactly…all i se is a dark brown blob….
is it that the middle looks like a horse?
omg that’s so cool! and it fits in with the whole theme, like, i mean, horses running wild or whatever…..very………Geronimish.
i can see a horse running upright like a person???
Its a face! so cool!
i see a giraffe
Is it a horse in a flying saucer or what?
All I see is a horse in the center painted onto multiple horses…:/
Awesome graphic!
For those who cant see it…
Can you see The King of the Jungle?
WOW!!!
I see it…
i dont get it!!!!! someone tell me quick!
Hi!
OK, im not to good for this kind of things, but,…. the ilusion is the face of a man in de middle of the image?? … its the only thing i can see … is this right?
lion
Looks to me like a chick hatching out of an egg… if that helps anyone. Very good illusion.
That horse’s head in the middle is the chicks head.
i see a man holding reins, is that right?
can you give a link to the outline?
A Tiger…
Right in the middle…
I see a man’s face attached to a horses body.
jeez i cant see it! sumbody helpppppp !!
it’s not just any face, it’s a very specific culturally sterotpyed face.
(I still think it’s neat)
I see it! I see it! Cool, cool, I see it!
It is eye-candy not only ’cause some can c the hidden … (Michelle said not to spoil other’s fun :-) ), but ‘cause it appears people can c what they wanna c and that iiiis an illusion…
Took me a while but “it” appeared!!!! Good art – keep looking to the right of centre, facing right…no more help!
There is a profile of a lion’s head in the middle, pretty cool. He is looking right by the way – if that helps
It’s definitely a man – looks like a Native American.
i saw an image of a man…this is cool!
Its a mans face wearing glasses!!! facing the right-side of the picture
The only thing I see is something that looks like a lion, but i am not sure and dont think that is the right thing to see. Some help would be nice!
Indian man’s face in the middle.
::sigh::: It’s a native American, which makes a lot of sense. (moreso than a tiger or lion).
Cool pic.
This is not funny anymore without knowing what do we have to see. Someone please spoil the illusion but tell us what it is!!! I don’t understand why is it sooo amazing!!! Or at least put a link to the outline, so we can decide wether to see it or not!
PLZ!!!!
Too small but I see it. Nice
it’s the face of a native american, for anyone who’s asking. his face is made up of the reddish spots on the horses. try to unadjust your eyes to see it. he is in profile looking right, and his nose is a white space. i hope it helps.
Huh? A person’s face? A lion? Oh well i geuess i see it a little differently (correct spelling?). Anyway,I see a horse’s head, I think. It’s in the center. The ear and mane is accually the manes of many horses put together; the body and muzzle are the white patches. I know it’s confusing, but I hope it helps.
STRANGE BUT TRUE, I SAW THE ILLUSION INSTANTLY IN FACT, I HAVE A HARD TIME FOCUSING ON THE REST OF THE PICTURE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT EVER REALLY HAPPENED TO ME. I NEVER CAN FIND THE HIDDEN STUFF
The way the comments are numbered is an illusion, hehe. “-3” ?!
You can see horses, birds, native american, a eagle/phoenix (or whatever) but, come on: no lions or tigers!!!
I guess, the illusion is with the birds that are coming out of Horses. Hope I hit the right spot. Good one for keeping as a portrait in Hall with title ‘UNBRIDLED’.
its a red indian who looks a bit like a lion. look at the tallest horse – thats his hair. then the white patch slightly below and to the right – thats the face. focus on the middle between the highest horse head and lowest foot. hope that helps
omg face of a man bahhhhh right in the middle facing right…
mauahaha ruined it!
It’s obviously an indians head in the middle. I would be curious to see an outline of the lion people are seeing. ;)
I think it is Gustav Mahler’s face in the middle.
I think native american would not wear a glasses….
When I first saw this I thought it was a lion but I looked closer and realized that it was the face of a man, and definitly a Native American. I think it’s beautiful! His hair is flowing back(that’s why I thought it was a lion because it looked like a mane).
Omg, I opened it up and saw it after just a few seconds, Im really proud of myself! It’s a great illusion and i think it is a great idea. It may seem abit wierd but i have trouble seeing the horses!!! Loving it, more like this please
I guess it is more difficult to find the illusion for analytic people. Don’t focus, try to overview the whole thing. If somebody gives up tell him where is the mouth, I think it is a certain clue.This is one of the best illusions I’ve found in this site.
I see it – It’s a face of an American Indian – Pretty cool !!
its a bird!
Here’s where I see a lion…http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/7520/windwingqq7.jpg
I guess it could be an American Indian, but it seems more like a nonhuman-shaped head to me.
Usually I’m pretty good w/ this stuff but I couldn’t see it until I came back to the pic and read some explanations. Thanks everyone! Very cool idea.
LOL
As I said in the original quote, it was a while before I saw it……..a few of you have got it spot on…..but it aint a lion……
sweet this i awsome!!!
awsome
Most of the time it takes me forever to see anything. not this time Indian face, side view looking right. its in the center. I can make out the face more than I can tell there are horses.
I saw the face of an indian right away. Don’t know where the lion and other things are coming from. Didn’t see anything else.
I might sound like a complete idiot, but all i can see are spots..
Guys: It’s not a Lion… it is a face of an AMERICAN INDIAN!!!
just kinda refoucus your eyes a little in the middle of the image. it just kind of pops our at you
never been more amazed by an illusion painting…at first i saw the entire picture to be some sort of bird with its wings spread and flying towards the screen…but looking in the middle my jaw dropped. =O
Yeah thats really cool i had to squint just to see it cool native american guy.
Ohh! I see it, took me a while before i started focusing on the details of the white bits, rather than the spots.
This is the art of Bev Doolittle, she is my fave illusion artist!
If I look really close, i can see the wolf from little red riding hood..
YOU SEE A NATIVE AMERICAN IS THE MIDDLE WHERE WHERE ALL THE BROWN IS!!! THE FACE IS IN THE CENTER!!! IT LOOKS LIKE A “C” AT FIRSY BUT IT WIN BEGIN TO DEVELOP!!! IT’S AMAZING!!!
please give me a hint…I don’t get it…please…and not just it’s in the middle of the pic
I see some horsies and then some giraffes with smudge…and then birdies =)
**********SPOILER WARNING************
*************************************
The face is looking to your right (his left) and the top of its head is the highest peak of the brown in the middle.
oh its so pretty…
Does anyone know who made this piece of artwork?
I SEES AN INJUN !
YUR LYIN IF YOU SEES A LION
I DONT SEE A FREAKIN LION
JUST AN INJUN !
It is called Native American, not injun!
Yeh, I see it. It looks like there’s a face in the middle. He looks like an Indian Cheif or something…
wow! that is really amazing…my favorite illusion yet!
wow! that’s neat! at first, when i was looking, i saw a dalmation head on the left made up of dots… maybe its just me. then i saw the real illusion in the middle. that is really cool. took me a while though
the secret image looks like the ‘dark mark’ in the harry potter books; a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth.
very easy to the image just look firmly and uou will see. nice image
it took me a while but I see it, the profile of a NATIVE AMERICAN, not “Injun”!
I see lion
For those who still cannot see it, here is an image of the native american head in a different color so you can spot it easily.

Thanks but the only thing I don’t get is how that looks like an Indian head. Someone please explain this.
Thanks !

I keep seeing “???”!

All i mean
ahahahah thats so mad
first i saw the horses

then i saw the indian took me for ever though !
it is to f’in small to see. that is why i enlarged it
I saw it. It was a Native American dude head. It was staring at me. I was scared. It’s right in the center of the horses!
FINALLY! I FINALLY FOUND IT! I have been looking for forever! i mean it, I have had this bookmarked for months I look every week and still haven’t seen it! Then i finally do!
NeE-HaA
I see a Fucking lion in the middle!! u gotta look at the full pic… but i dont see any native american
lol ok now i see that the lion was the native american
Wait.. who is that?
is it a dinosaur??? Aha(: Cuz thats what i see……
A Native American Man…Geronimo?
It’s a native american man.
its horses turning into a flock of birds, as stated in the fucking text above the picture! READ PEOPLE READ!
dude thts pretty obvious tht they turn into birds so ofcourse thts not the hidden image, hense to word HIDDEN
WHY DON’T U READ THE TEXT???!!!! READ IT ALL, NOT JUST A LINE OR TWO. IT SAYS THATS NOT THE ILLUSION!!
Haha Rachel you’re really dumb. You can’t read!
don’t swear your obviously to young if you cant be bothered reading the text
Oh my god! Rachel, you are SO EXTREMELY COOL AND HARDCORE; you said the word “fucking”. You are such a rebel. Extremely cool and unique. *inserts sarcasm*
First of all:
– Why don’t you read?
– Isn’t it pretty obvious that they change into birds? The text said there was another HIDDEN illusion.
– Don’t swear: It makes you seem even more stupid than you already are.
Ummm, maybe you should re-read it there my friend lols.
its a rock star :P
Wow, I didn’t see it for so long, and I’m normally quite good at this stuff! But I must admit it’s a wonderful picture even without the native American…
it’s a face in the middle
there a horses that change into birds, but as they change, there’s like someone in the middle…
i spot an eagle
AHA! I see the horses, birds, face…. and SOMETHING ELSE!!! Do you see it? Scary!!
What is it? PLEASE TELL ME! I’M DYING TO KNOW!!
I don’t want to lose sleep over this! LOL
Cool illusion…thanks:)
*cough* you meant thought instead of tought.
*cough* you also meant similar instead of simmaler. Vurdlak, you need spellcheck.
It’s none of the above because I work with a person who makes optical illusions and we looked on this website and founded tha it’s actually a bird riding on a horse. If you look in the middle (the brown part) and zoom in then you will see what it actually is! It’s not a bloody native American or a rockstar! XD
Totally is a Native American… a side face. =)
its a lions head !
guys stop all arguing try squinting ur eyes …….. POOF Illussion reveals!
i still cant see it but i love the artwork. THis really portrays the speed of a horse, as fast as if they are flying across the horizon
Bev Doolittle art. She has some amazing ones, and most are based on American Indians.
The face !!
It’s Crazy Horse.
if you cant see it, then enlarge the picture and stare at the middle.the eyes,mouth,hair,are all there,so what is it? look again
Beautiful piece but i saw the illusion almost immediatly
It took me a few minutes, call me slow, lol. But it really snuck up on me. I was scanning my eyes back and forth then BAM! I cried out, “O s$@t!” Lol very cool image
Looks like scattered blood on the dang it floor!
OMG!!! I change my mind!!!! I squinted and saw a bunch of native American Indians running!!!! Cool! And I should know-we 11 year olds know when something is cool or lame!
i see the head of a man
