Here’s a disturbing photo-manipulation that has been circulating Facebook for some time now. I couldn’t ignore all the requests for it to be featured no more. It’s like more than a dozen of you have submitted it to me over the last week. At first I wasn’t that impressed, but as I kept re-checking the pic each time someone re-sent it to me, finally have I seen the illusion! Even-though this photo has been heavily manipulated, the illusion stands perfect! So, what do you make of it? Do you see the man standing sideways (profile), or do you see it as a partial frontal shot (a portrait)? It works both ways! Perhaps them police officers in charge of taking mug-shots of criminals could re-think their practice and go with this new approach to save film :D Something similar we have already featured before, but this one works much better, I think! BTW another take on this illusion can be seen inside this article (if you read this off of homepage).
