Mighty Optical Illusions

National Geographic’s Shadow Zebras Illusion

Patty Winsauer sent this magnificent photo along with following text: “Hi. This is a picture my aunt e-mailed to me. It is from the Best Photo Awards by National Geographic. It took me a while to see the zebras, cuz I thought the zebras were gray and their shadows were striped. I’m not completely sure it could be classified as an illusion, but it still looks kinda cool.” I decided to post this photo cause it reminded me of our previously successful Camel Shadows illusion. Previous illusion also won National Geographic’s Best Photo Award. This one is great, but little too similar (in my opinion) to win the same award again. What is your opinion? Does this count as an illusion?
