It’s no secret that photos can be quite deceiving sometimes. Some are so deceiving, in fact, that you may think your mind is just playing tricks on you. Perhaps it is, or maybe it has to do with the lighting and angle that the picture was taken in. Either way, the images on this list will have you rubbing your eyes in confusion. Keep scrolling…
Baby’s Got Back
There’s nothing like going for a horseback ride on the beach or through the park on a beautiful, sunny day. Perhaps that’s what this woman had in mind when she woke up but she didn’t have a horse at hand so she grabbed the next best thing she could think of — a zebra… obviously!
WSL – Spurs
So, as much as you’d like to think that this lady’s got back in her zebra-print leggings, we all know the truth here… although we will admit that this photo is highly deceptive!
Wonder Car
This woman definitely had the brains to promote herself as “rich” in the cheapest way she could possibly imagine. If you think there are two cars here, you’re wrong. After rubbing your eyes, you will realize that this is just one van with a clever design scheme.
It misleads you into thinking that there’s a Porsche in the driveway too. The tires clear up the confusion, though. Think about all the parking spaces you’re missing out on — and all because you’ve been tricked!
Real-Life Doctor Reed
Clumsy photographs with friends are memories you’ll cherish forever. This picture shows a group of young children of different ages, all gathered for a playful group photo. At first glance, you notice two discrepancies in the photo.
(1) the tall girl in the middle looks like she has freakishly long arms and (2) there’s a hand sticking out of the blonde girl’s head. It isn’t actually, of course, but this photo is super deceiving.
Art Imitates Reality
The angle that this photo was taken in creates the perfect illusion that we’re actually looking at a painting. And the OP’s tiny fists are holding the piece of artwork up for all to see.
A second look at the picture shifts your focus to the cliffs and the beautiful sea, so it may take you quite some time to notice that this isn’t actually a painting.
Bewitching Floors
This photo you see here is the winner of the Siena International Photo Awards for its optical illusion. This is the floor of the Florence Cathedral.
When you walk across the floor, you might think you’re just walking past a vastly empty room that symbolizes the austerity of religious life, but when you look at it from above, the center just looks like a 50-foot drop.
Disappointing Bathroom
What do you look for in the perfect bathroom? A showerhead? A gigantic tub? A mirrored vanity with lotions, oils, and bath bombs? Now, imagine the bathroom of a bus or train; barely five feet of space. Now, the image of the bathroom here with a fresh towel and filled dispensers may be located in a train but is it really as it looks?
If you look closely, you’ll see that the only real thing about this bathroom is the toilet. The rest is wallpaper! Just pee and get going.
Fashion Sense Kicked In
It hurts but it’s true. Despite being a major fashion icon, Asian men have a really drabby fashion sense. So, it’s obvious that this guy isn’t sporting jeans shorts or a pair of adorable heels.
A longer look discloses a chirpy girlfriend hugging her busy man at work. As for his sense of hip, the cool jeans jacket and spiky hairdo are definitely bonuses! Guys, no odd pictures.
Censored
Despite what your eyes are telling you, this isn’t some woman who has an open top and hairy chest — nor is this some weird optical illusion on the top. In reality, what you’re looking at is the reflection of a man’s chest.
The mirror here could either be the rearview or side-view mirror. Either way, this is yet another photo that took us a while to figure out!
Synchronized Terror
There are very few activities as beautiful as synchronized swimming. Their signature moves just make you stare in awe, be it live or on camera. The camera is known to capture the most wonderful moments — as well as the most awkward ones.
This here is simply awkward. The vertical position of the swimmers along with the swimmer’s head in the middle makes it look like something that belongs to the arthropod and mollusk world. And the smudged eyeliner doesn’t help.
Short Shorts
Although we love seeing celebrity dads, like Liev Schrieber, bonding with their children, this picture is just too odd for words. Liev’s head looks way too big for his body, and his legs are completely hairless!
Oh, wait. That’s Liev’s former partner, actress Noami Watts. She and Liev just happen to perfectly blend together in this one family photo.
