The image is certainly artful, but is it real? An egret seems to step from one world into a completely different world. But it’s neither Photoshopped not is it artificial intelligence, just a nicely-composed photo. Photographer Kenichi Ohno took the picture at a nearby marsh. It went viral after he was awarded an Honorable Mention in the Nature in Japan photo contest from the All-Japan Association of Photographic Societies, because so many people couldn’t figure out how it was done. Is the background blue or is it yellow? Why not both?
If you can’t see what’s happening in the picture, here’s a clue. The yellow is a wall. The wall reflects onto the water. There is no sky in the picture. If you still can’t see it, there’s further explanation and a handy chart at My Modern Met that will make it all clear, plus the story of Ohno’s illusion image. -via Fark
