Most people see the face first, then comes the 'wow factor' when they suddenly see the animals.

[HansV]

I saw the animals first...
What does that say about me?

[John Gray]

I worry about the incorrect sizing of the black cat and the bird.
What does that say about me?

An interesting observation1
Probably that you, Hans, and I are alike, and that we both used the down-arrow key to scroll the screen contents upwards, and hence saw the cat before the bird (in a manner of speaking0.

Don't tempt me!

My monitor is large enough that I didn't have to scroll...

OK. Attempt#2: You are so familiar with The Cloud that you don't give it a second thought.

I see now that there are clouds in the image; I admit that I hadn't noticed them before you mentioned it.

"I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all."

I only saw the face when I went back to the image after I read the posts that said there was a face to see.

So, Ken, can you now see the funicular railway?

P.S. If you rotate the image 180 degrees, you can see a dome-shaped snow-capped mountain.

But did you see the man in the gorilla suit?

But did you see the man in the gorilla suit?

No I didn't. Did you notice that it was a blonde-haired woman? (3m24s)

Scientists say that the brain is wired to recognize faces very quickly. Hans, you'd have to write to the scientists and contest their theories.

John, the animals might be the right size, but they could be perched in very small trees. I wouldn't worry too much regarding your powers of deduction.

I, too, saw the animals first but their unusual appearance caused me to see the face. Having seen both the animals and the face, I started looking for other trompe l-oeil.

Without success, I must add.
