Hmm. I tried looking up on the internet about seeing both images at the same time, but haven't had success. I did find this link though, with an Alchemy piece on it?

www.moillusions.com/2010/01/just-two-dragons-nothing-more.html

Are they allowed to post that up? Don't they need to ask permission and give credit to Alchemy for that image? :unsure:


Hmmm... They should at least give credit, but unfortunately I think not even the writer of the article knows anything about the background of the artwork, I'd say they did a medicore job when they didn't bother researching who made that artwork.

To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

I'd say on that article the writer fails to know much about what stands out.

The background (or skin of the girl) is a brighter than the dragons where are comparatively darkened, so our attention is then drawn to the lighter colour. Most likely you'll see the dragons when your eyes adjust more to the image.



Ones like that always amuse me for some reason.

Would this really be considered an optical illusion?
I know we did a lot of those (and similar stuff regarding letters) in art class as a design assignment... well, either way, it's very simple...

Apparently it is considered one by some people.

Hard to say really. Probably the simplicity of it that amuses me.

I've never heard that you're not supposed to be able to see both images. The one that I notice first on these type of pictures is the one that stands out the most to me, but I can usually see both if I try. Once I know what I'm looking at, that is...
