Watch this picture..  

This is a cool picture. I looked at the picture before I read the post. I saw the couple and then saw the dolphins...I was trying to determine what I was "supposed" to be seeing to get your point...Guess I'm okay then right?

This just proves that we see things in accordance to our own perspective. Children indeed see only dophins instead of couples in sexual pose because their perspective is still quite innocent. We do see things based on our own pre-conceived prejudices and conceptions.

I had to actually go back and look at the picture a second time then I seen the dolphins..
nice picture and i like how it's in a bottle

Cool I love that picture..well not the other one, but I can see the dolphins indeed I can sbalu..it is a lovely piece and whoever designed it is a true artist..simply beautiful..I love the dolphins! xo
Thank you for this great work of art! xo

very cleverly done picture no doubt and yes the children did see those dolphins but how young were the children being talked about here? I mean if I show this to my son aged 8, even he would see the couple first and then the dolphins. What I am trying to say is that he would not recognize it as an intimate love pose, most probably he would ask me what are they doing, but you can actually see the couple first and then the dolphins, no matter the state of your mind. The man and woman are etched far to clearly and the dolphins are merged quite hazily, so the basic intention of optical illusion which the artist wanted to create, is successful.

I saw the couple and looked for something else without reading your explanation first and wow, I couldn't find ONE dolphin. I guess my mind must be in the gutter more than I thought. I had to read the explanation and really look for the dolphins before I found them. I really find it hard to believe a child couldn't see those people even if they didn't understand what they were doing.
