A matter of PERCEPTION....

[ArMaP]

 

[rdunk]

Of course, a photo of a nice looking young lady, just getting ready to ride her bike down to the beach - obvious, as her bikini top is showing!!

Certainly there is no pixelation to be seen here in this ANOMALY (or is it 2 anomalies?)....... maybe if the pic were magnified.......................lol lol lol!!!

[rdunk]

But of course, perception has much to do with the point of focus!! The big green tree in the background is simply "background" to the young lady, until one notices it is a very ugly green monster, ready to hop on down for his lunch of the day!!

- not surprised that ArMaP obviously "perceives" nothing in this photo, as is his case with most of the "anomalies" he takes a look at!!

I don't know if I "perceive" something or not, as I don't understand what is meant by the thread's title.

What I see is a young woman with a pink bicycle, wearing a pink bikini under a light yellow knit-work (I suppose that's the right word) dress with a yellow half-belt (or whatever those are called). I see that the right side of her bikini bottom appears wider than the rest, but it's hard to say if that's the shape of the bikini or if she has something being held by the bikini. She also has sunglasses on her head.

I also see that the couple behind her is slightly out of focus, like the house behind them, and that the green Godzilla-like monster is not out of focus and has a different lighting, making me think that it was added to the photo. There's another couple seen behind the bicycle (and in front of what appears to be a car) that are slightly out of focus, but as they are not much farther away from the main target of the photo it makes me think that the photo was taken with a camera that was not that good.

PS: just because the young woman is wearing a bikini doesn't mean she is going to the beach.

Because the vast Majority of people see the girl and not Godzilla. Most people need to do a double take to perceive that the purpose of the photo is not to show off a pretty girl but that the Godzilla is the point of the image

Perception:  Perception can be split into two processes Firstly processing sensory input which transforms these low-level information to higher-level information (e.g., extracts shapes for object recognition). Secondly processing which is connected with person's concept and expectations (knowledge), and selective mechanisms (attention) that influence perception.

So people looking for anomalies on the moon or mars have expectations of seeing rocks, so will miss the Monster hiding in plain site until a) it is pointed out to them or b) they cheat and read the comments 

On Facebook even after many comments, those that don't read the comments miss Godzilla 

And this is a BIG Godzilla very easy to spot

and that the green Godzilla-like monster is not out of focus and has a different lighting, making me think that it was added to the photo.

Yes it is highly likely that this Godzilla is photoshopped So your perception is okay though your analysis is to clinical. So while you spotted Godzilla, you missed the humor and the point

PS: just because the young woman is wearing a bikini doesn't mean she is going to the beach.

True... she can use my pool any day

HAHAHHAHAHAHAAAA GOLD

I thought that could be the idea but I don't see it as humour.

ArMaP, a primary active point of the title of the OP is the word "Perception", which infers a question of what does one think he or she is seeing here, physically and happening? The physical part is pretty easy, as it just involves looking at the physical evidence. The what's happening part of perception, involves having to use non-physical thinking to arrive at obvious "assumptions" to possible "conclusions". I would guess that might be where the skeptic mind could run amuck, being unable to ascertain on the basis of uncertainties!!

Perception - noun
1.the act or faculty of perceiving, or apprehending by means of the senses or of the mind; cognition; understanding.
2.immediate or intuitive recognition or appreciation, as of moral, psychological, or aesthetic qualities; insight; intuition; discernment:an artist of rare perception.

That's why I like clear things and not "inferred" things, people may go on the wrong way and waste their time just because the other person wasn't clear about what he/she wanted.

The what's happening part of perception, involves having to use non-physical thinking to arrive at obvious "assumptions" to possible "conclusions".

Once again, that's why I like clear statements, if what was wanted was a suggestion of what may be happening, why not say so?
And it's not a question of language, as if someone had asked the same thing in Portuguese the first thing I would ask would be "what do you mean by that?".

That only shows that you have the wrong idea of how a sceptic mind works.

I think there is a good reason we are all so different in our views of things and added together it makes a more complete picture.

Myself my first thought was the bikini girl looks unhappy actually like a thought she is entertaining at the moment is making her so, the couple behind looks disapproving of her attire. The blonde Woman has her head slightly tilted toward the Man at her side she is uncomfortable with his view of the see through dress ahead.

There are tests that find what kind of people we are and why we perceive things as we do. I was exceptional for seeing emotion and motive in pictures that had only slight things, which most people never noticed, to hint at problems,concerns, and emotions.

I was told I would make a very good detective.

Sometimes a person needs straight provable facts to lead to correct conclusions, but often when there are not enough of those kinds of facts looking at all of the clues includes emotional responses, helpful if we have trained or intuitive perception of other peoples demeanor.

Some kinds of people would have noted the green guy before anything else.

That would be like telling you the ending of a movie or book

The whole idea of that photo is to see who sees what. If the title said Godzilla sneaks up behind Hot Babe is see through Dress... 

There would be no point posting the images to see how people perceive it

And it's not a question of language, as if someone had asked the same thing in Portuguese the first thing I would ask would be "what do you mean by that?".

Yeah pretty sure we do

That's not what I meant, what I meant is if you wanted to know what people see, why not asking "what do you see" instead of just writing "perception"?

There would be no point posting the images to see how people perceive it

One thing is certain, I still don't see "perception" as the right word for it.

Yeah pretty sure we do

It doesn't look like it, at least for some.

This why the saying; "A picture is worth a thousand words"

There are tests that find what kind of people we are and why we perceive things as we do. I was exceptional for seeing emotion and motive in pictures that had only slight things, which most people never noticed, to hint at problems,concerns, and emotions.

Rorschach Test comes to mind   Standard psychiatric tool to study peoples perception

I was told I would make a very good detective.

yes most likely   The description of the couple's thoughts was good

Sometimes a person needs straight provable facts to lead to correct conclusions, but often when there are not enough of those kinds of facts looking at all of the clues includes emotional responses, helpful if we have trained or intuitive perception of other peoples demeanor.

Hence "Circumstantial Evidence"  More often than not we use that in the absence of cold hard facts and most of the time with enough circumstantial evidence, we do arrive at the facts. Humans are intuitive creatures... but very few people use that power

Some kinds of people would have noted the green guy before anything else.

EXACTLY!!! 

The site where I got this image billed it as 15 photos that are not what you think. So when you see the girl instinctively she is too obvious so it has to be something else, so like the Rorschach test, you block the girl and Godzilla leaps out
