Photos That Get Stranger the Closer You Look

Images that play with the viewer's perception.

Not everything in a picture is normal. Some photos reveal strange or absurd details when viewed closely. What seems like an everyday situation often shows animals in unusual circumstances or scenes that would baffle many.

The following images play with the viewer's perception, transforming seemingly normal situations into something strange, like a shadow reflecting an animal, a group of soccer players fighting over something, or a moment that seems to last an eternity.

In these photos, free interpretation reigns supreme, and each person can see or understand something different in what they are observing.

The wonderful thing about these photos is looking closely at moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.
