Holy crap, this parrot is actually a woman posing in bodypaint

[HarveyDarkey]

It took me a while, but I finally saw it. All I can say is WOW!!!



Man, it took me an embarrassingly long time to see her but she's there all right. The picture above is not a parrot but a woman in bodypaint posing so she looks exactly like a parrot. What a fantastic mind trip.

It's so impressive. Even after seeing the woman, I can still convince myself that it's a picture of a parrot. The awesomeness is the work of artist Johannes Stoetter. Daily Mail says he had planned this shoot for 4 weeks to perfect every detail and spent over 4 hours applying the bodypaint on the model.

1. Interesting concept and excellent execution,

but it will never fly!

[dixiegrrrrl]

2. I fianlly saw by looking at the tail feathers,

where the shape of her leg/foot is a clue.

Ahhh..if you look long enough at the head, the picture"switches" and you can see her face
and see arm above her head.

3. That's what I did too

4. I saw the "wing" as a folded leg first, then it...

all became obvious.

Now, it's tougher to see the parrot since I then saw the face and extended leg so clearly.

Damn good illusion, though, and it must have been tough on the model.

5. Once I saw it - that's all I can see now.

It's always like that for me. Love it.

8. I think it is actually a parrot posing as a woman in bodypaint.

You need to look at it the right way.
