Yesterday I put up a “where’s the bird?” post that included the photo below. That was a very hard one, for the bird silhouette was almost impossible to tell from the leaf silhouettes:
The answer? The bird is the black blob closest to the center: about 60% across from the right and 65% down from the top. I wouldn’t have known it was a bird had I not watched it for 30 minutes. The other black blobs are dead leaves.
Two readers, Smokedpaprika and Monika, got it. The rest failed.
Yay! Smokedpaprika and I got the Eye!
I’m not at all sure about that anymore, as I took a closer look at ‘our’ blob on a different computer, and it looks like at least 2 green leaves. I mentioned this on the original post. I think Bruce and the others are correct.
I thought it was that black blob, but my #1 reason was that it was closest to the centre of the picture.
I want to make sure I understand the description for where the bird is because it does not match where the bird really is (I downloaded the photo and Photoshopped to bring out detail). That lump that is close to the center of the of the photo is a leaf; the bird. If you divide the photo into four quadrants, the bird is in the upper left-hand quadrant and it is in the center of the quadrant.
Hi Jerry, as a Photoshop user and tedious pedant, I have to concur with Bruce. The centermost blob is ceretainly a pair of bright green leaves, and the blob Bruce refers to is unmistakably the backside of a birdy. Any way to share images here?
