Finally, an Optical Illusion I caught Right Away

[Ben]

Usually it takes me forever, plus going cross-eyed, to catch these things, but this one I caught the first second I saw it:

Saw this on failblog.   I was just coming here to see if anyone had posted this yet.    I saw nothing but the shiny legs until I read the description about painted lines.    Then they just became regular legs with streaks of white paint.

I thought they were just those kinky transparent plastic stockings.  Even knowing it's just paint, that's still the way they look.

Must be something pisikyological involved in my perceptions.

And no, I did not get all hornified and bonerized at the pic.

But it did look better after I rotated it 180° with MSPaint.

I get the highlights of shiny/oiled legs, and I did see that. But once I knew it was a picture that was a "trick" somehow, I knew it was stripes of white paint.

Interesting. If I close my eyes and open them, I can see the shiny legs again for about a second.

Now that I know what it is, I simply can't see the "Shiny legs" anymore!
