Travislaborde first posted a clipmark about this illusion but it pointed to his email. Requests went out to see the dolphins so i figured i'd oblige. I hope you don't mind Travis...just wanted to share with everyone...great find.

From the site: How old are you ?

That question may determine what you see in the optical illusion picture below by Sandro Del-Prete. If you are very young you will see nine dolphins at play. If you are not very young you will see a couple in an erotic embrace."

For what it's worth, i see no dolphins and some serious love making going on there. Seriously! I have looked at it for minutes and see 0 dolphins. Please tell me i'm not the only one.

You don't see them dolphins even after a 10th or 20th glance? Oh Eric, you've surely confirmed your SuperFreak status now, Red & Blue men be damned.

I saw both but the couple first, I think because they're more obvious being shaded lighter, over a larger area, against a contrasting bkgd, kinda like a country map with smaller cities (dolphins) within.

I've squinted, gone to the back of the room, looked at it peripherally; this is a joke. No dolphins.

agree GD, no dolphins. though if you're the only one who can confirm that for me i'm kind of scared (that's a big smile for you GD...i know you love em).

I see both and I count all the dolphins

wow I see nine dolphins making mad passionate love to a woman

I am only able to count 8 dolphins. I can't find the ninth one. And I too saw the "erotica" first

Thanks for fixing this for me Eric!

Weird.

I just looked again, and without even trying, instantly saw the dolphins.

Sorry, Eric

I just asked my 3 year old what she saw. First she said "a dog." and then she said "a girl" and pointed to the parts of the woman in the picture. Then I asked her if she saw any dolphins and she pointed those out too. ????

dolphins...definitely dolphins!!!

There are at least 10 dolphins.

oh finally saw them! seen only 8 of them though. maybe i'll try again later. for a moment there, i was desparing that my mind was eternally in the gutter and that's why i cant see the dophins

i think i need to come back to this w/ a fresh perspective..b/c i'm not seeing dolphins!!!

wow I see nine dolphins making mad passionate love to a woman

Also what I see.

I see at least nine complete dolphins and several partial ones. And the passionate couple. Great optical illusion!

I first saw the couple....after a closer look I found them dolphins....sneaky hiding little buggers aren't they?

look by the ladys head in the black space and you will see two dolphins right in between her arms and her and his head
