Oh right - yeah you can force a sort of face from the open sections of the buildings and frame it with the surroundings...Look at the bigger picture, Trev. It took me a few seconds.

I couldn't see it on here until I saved it to my pictures and in the small version I saw it instantly.Look at the bigger picture, Trev. It took me a few seconds.
That has got to be the most amazing pareidolia I've ever seen.
Wasn't this posted in the pareidolia thread as well?
I didn't think it was a 100% natural scene!Wasn't this posted in the pareidolia thread as well?
I suspect image manipulation, it's just too good!
Awww. It's still good though.
I think part. I was wondering if light was played with. The image around its outside. Were some areas darkened to get the facial outline? Just one detail I wondered about. The ovalness of the framing is curious.Wasn't this posted in the pareidolia thread as well?

Pareidolia is our brains making shapes that aren't there, whereas an optical illusion is something that plays tricks on your perception. So pareidolia is a specific subset of optical illusions.What is the difference between paredolia and optical illusion?
It might be argued that the former is naturally occuring (though optical illusions, such as mirage, can occur) while the latter is man-made.
Spoil sport!Fake.
We fell for it, like the suckers we are. So much for healthy scepticism.
I think that if we had recognized the face we would have immediately known it was fake.We fell for it, like the suckers we are. So much for healthy scepticism.
Yes. . . we gotta face up to the bigger picture. Or in this case, the smaller one!I think that if we had recognized the face we would have immediately known it was fake.
Quite clearly your picture shows that the people there have a pride in their area, are not lazy, and actually bother to keep their environs tidy.below: recycling plastic bottles into water transport (Pokhara, Nepal taken by myself)
To me that was both instantly recognisable as a face (dunno whose though) and obviously fake.
The fact it was posted in this thread means there's more to see than is immediately obvious. It took me about 3 seconds to see it. Shame it's not a genuine case of pareidolia, though. But nevertheless quite an ingenious piece of art.To me that was both instantly recognisable as a face (dunno whose though) and obviously fake.
Showed Techy on a Mac screen from across the room but he couldn't see a thing except the scummy landscape.
Hmmm…..looks a bit photoshopped. None of the other cacti look anything like it..
That's what I suspect but it was still a neat idea.Hmmm…..looks a bit photoshopped. None of the other cacti look anything like it..
Though you'll notice that it is the biggest one in view, and it does have multiple cracks which strongly suggests that it is drying out and not able to support the two lower growths - and a few what looks like woodpecker holes up above it too!Hmmm…..looks a bit photoshopped.

And it's not a perfect t rex image as it has too many upper arms. Though I do suspect that the kids are photoshopped.Though you'll notice that it is the biggest one in view, and it does have multiple cracks which strongly suggests that it is drying out and not able to support the two lower growths - and a few what looks like woodpecker holes up above it too!
