What do you see?



Did you see the nine dolphins first? Or the NSFW part?

I'll post a link to the site where I lifted the image after a few people have posted.

NSFW part.

Took me me more than a couple seconds to see anything else.

Here's where I got it from: Double Picture Illusion - Optical Illusions Picture

You saw a couple in an intimate love position, right?
Interestingly, research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario.

What they will see, however, is nine (small & black) dolphins in the picture!

So, I guess we've already proven you're not a young innocent child. Now, if it's hard for you to find the dolphins within 6 seconds, your mind is SO corrupted that you probably need help!

OK, here's help: look at the space between her right arm and her head, the tail is on her neck, follow it up. Look at her left hip, follow the shaded part down, it's another one, and on his shoulder.

Not the dolphins. I didn't see them until I read the whole post and looked for them. Freud would have a field day with me, I'm sure...

You already primed our senses with the thread title, so there's a very slim chance that anyone will pick up on the dolphins first.

Besides this isn't really a true optical illusion since the light parts clearly make up the NSFW image. What are the light parts supposed to be if the image was just about dolphins?

I see the tilted head of Richard Nixon on the body of a nude woman.

What did I win?

I was thinking the same thing. The NSFW part is also larger and more in your face.

It is an optical illusion as most adults won't see the dolphins unless they are pointed out to them.

That is why I quoted the site I swiped it from:

What they will see, however, is nine (small & black) dolphins in the picture!

I first (for a couple seconds) saw two people in parkas embracing each other, then the NSFW image came into view. Didn't see dolphins until I read your comments below the image.

It takes a lot of concentration for me to see the dolphins, even knowing they're there.
