You really have to concentrate

amazing.


IT'S NOT A BIRD. And then this landed in my inbox. I could not resist sharing it.

This parrot is in fact a female model, who posed for Johannes Stötter,
A fine art body painter. Using breathable paint, he spent hours painstakingly turning this woman into the image of a parrot, brushstroke by brushstroke.
The model's arm forms the parrot's head and beak, and her legs form the wing
and tail feathers.
Remember: always take a closer look as things aren't always what they appear to be


Once you see her, the bird disappears

James, I saw this a couple times before, the first time, I couldn't for the life of me, see the woman. Someone PM'd me and told me and I felt.so.dumb!!! :D

Don't feel dumb. The eyes are trained to see objects and colors that best fit what the eyes have seen before. You are just normal. Took me a while but I finally saw it.
