Look closely at the picture above. What you're actually looking at is a work of art by Johannes Stotter. Despite its extremely photographic nature, it's actually a painting.

Even more surprising is the canvas isn't cloth. It's a woman covered in body paint. It took me a while to see the woman. Now I have a hard time seeing the parrot. :shock:

Wow!

Once the woman comes into focus you are correct, it's difficult to see the parrot.

Wow! I had to in large the pic, but is amazing.

thats true talent.

That is amazing.

The camera angle for the right knee and calve aren't perfect. Shadow for the right arm thru the bird breast also. If it wasn't for these small blemishes, it would be really difficult to see the woman. Left arm and bird head are almost flawless. Left leg position too including the pointing of the toe.

Wonder how many hours this took?

I just can;t imagine someone sitting still long enough to get that done
