I was looking at the Bluegrass Tuatura armoured shirt and thinking it looked a bit short on the hips, then I noticed the face....

Anyone got any good ones?

Don't get the OP. CFHs is brilliant, and I do like that camel one. Didn't it win Nat Geo's photo of the year?

Yeah, i'm not seeing anything either

Edit: Now I do, and it makes me feel uncomfortable the amount of time I stared there

I'm guessing there is something about the light and dark shadows on the left, or the front of the lycra shorts...

The shorts:

The padding seam is an unhappy mouth, just above is a nose and then a forehead.

Too many rude ones but don't want to be banned quite yet...

Boring but works:

Can't see the camel or the brickwork one. I heard the Farrage one on the radio at about 5:40 this morning.

Those aren't actually camels that you're looking at.

There are camels in the photo, but look at it from a different angle - literally. Once you see it, its clear as day 🙂

Can't see the camel or the brickwork one.

Camels are actually shadows, and the 'hills' are just their tracks, you're looking from directly above with a low sun.

Brickwork, the grey splodge is cigar ash and the pointing in-front of it is actually the cigar poking out the wall about 5" closer than you're looking.

I don't get the chuckle brothers one though?

Not really an illusion, just a photo that looks unreal.

colournoise: interestingly that photo has been doctored, the original at http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-of-the-day/camel-thorn-trees-namibia/ is definitely unreal but slightly less so.
