Photos You Need To Really Look At To Understand

Look at the second photo carefully :)
I was looking for a rational explanation but I guess there isn't one. I did notice the lady that was in the second picture but not in the first. I reckon it's someone playing around with photoshop.
 
Not sure if this is an illusion or just straight-forward WTF-ery

It's a deliberately staged photo. Just what it says on the tin, or as Freud might say, sometimes Mom sitting on someone's head is just Mom sitting on someone's head. In this case, Aunt Telcia's head.

For an update.

I was kind of hoping it was one of the girls from the Girls On Sofa Illusion.
 
The guy is bald in the first photo. What you are seeing is the hair of the girl behind who moves her head in the second photo to peer round the bloke. A funny bit of photography.
I've only just seen this post. I don't know how I missed it.

It's one of those 'what's the odd of that happening' type things.

Fair enough. Any indications of when this was done ? - it's been languishing in my pics folder for years.

Based on the address of the original post, it was 2009.

That correlates with my impression when first seeing the photo. I'd seen it (or one quite similar, with someone beneath the seat cushions) before, but it had been several years ago.
 
It took me a while, but the legs of the girl second from the right are hidden by the legs of the girls either side of her.
