Terrific pareidolia example
Can you see the Jesus head superimposed between the couple?

Can you see what's really going on in the photo? Click and drag in the box below to highlight the answer.

Look for the child in the man's lap

3. I must admit, it was quite hard for me to see the kid instead of Jesus.

7. The kid's sleeve
is Jesus' nose and arm is his moustache. The head and hat are eye and forehead.

8. Thank you.
I absolutely couldn't see it until I read your description.

(No, that wasn't sarcasm!)

9. It's good, innit?

11. All I saw was the kid
until I clicked to reply and then when the picture came up again saw the 'Jesus head.' Is this due to lack of childhood indoctrination?

12. Sincerely?
There's so little information in the picture revealing the child relative to the cues indicating a face, that that's hard to believe.

Were there no human faces around during your upbringing? ;)

14. I saw the child on his lap immediately
and was looking for something between the child and the woman standing up before finally seeing what everyone else saw. :shrug:

13. My mind keeps wanting to see the 'background' around the kid
Edited on Sat Dec-06-08 05:42 AM by Seldona
as Jesus's hair. To me that is what did it. Without proper depth perception I contextualized that as hair, shaping my view of the image, and couldn't see the child at all. Once I studied the left side of the child and put together the sleeve and arm thing I got it.

Thanks for posting. Fun exorcise.
