Worship

Absent of a Mermaid

Shadow Illusion

If you saw only the shadow, you’d thought there is a young couple sitting, and supporting each other’s back . The amazing part is there is no couple, just a pile of garbage.

Is this guy drowning?

Is this guy drowning, or is he safe? It depends on how you see the image, and the way it is rotated. For example, many of you will first presume this guy is drowning and screaming for help, but when the image is rotated (jump inside this article to see the 2nd picture), you will see that he is actually safe.

Angels

Hiden Women

Find the Man in Coffee Beans

This is bizarre – after you find the guy – it’s so obvious. Once you find him – it’ s embarrassing, and you think, Why didn’t I see him immediately?

Crazy Optical Illusion

The real beauty in this crazy picture is the attention to detail that the artist, Octavio Ocampo took. Try this: squint your eyes a little and you’ll see that the man with the guitar fades away, ad the old man staring into the old woman’s eyes really starts to pop out at you.

Perhaps the scariest part of this illusion is that the younger woman has some really mean sideburns! Look out!

Also, keep looking until you find: the young girl, the tequila bottle, and the giant vase! Quite a crazy optical illusion painting!
