Optical Illusion Photos That Are Uncanny

Pet lion

Photography is all about angles and perspectives. Well, that’s not entirely true; it’s also about light and shadows, and a lot of other aspects. But a good photo depends heavily on the angle. This photo, which seems to present a woman walking her lion down the street, is playing a mind trick on us using perspective.

If you didn’t pay close attention to the photo, you could’ve believed this was actually a woman walking her pet lion. We must say – she’s very convincing. However, a closer examination reveals this is a lion painted on the pavement, and the woman is standing in a position that makes it look like she’s holding the leash.
