You daughter must have developed a great sense of humor over the years

Eyes and mouth are as if she was not turned upside down

just going by pic. File would not open up for me.

Millertime ~ it's an inline swf file. Just click on the button on this page.

It's quite an interesting effect. Do a Google for "upside down face recognition"

Thanks Egg, I guess I don't have the knack to see the obvious:

We'll blame that on a momentary illegal function of the brain!

Very clever Egg.

It's very cool... and very freaky at the same time....
Your daughter is a very lovely woman. But, I imagine the facial expression was not too unlike the upside down image when she saw this twisted image

There was an article on TV about this recently - people were tested with upside down pix and most couldn't tell there was a 'problem'. Very interesting how visual perception works ... and how it can be fooled

BTW, it was called "The Thatcher Illusion" by the guy who 'discovered' it, Peter Thompson. He didn't have Xara to create a better image though!
