Photography is a beautiful thing. It allows people to preserve the beauty of the scenery, their beloved faces, or the mixture of both. But some happen to notice that their pictures look a little off. You can say that they took pictures that appear to be accidentally confusing, and it was most probably the perspective that made people see something that isn't there.
When they happen on these pictures, the best place to post them is the 'Confusing Perspective' subreddit. Filled with mind-boggling pictures, we really warn you not to force yourself before you get dizzy from the way these pictures look!

Our brain loves playing tricks on us. Do you remember when a dress went viral in 2015 for looking both white/gold and black/blue? It split people into two categories, and although everyone now knows it's a royal blue dress with black frills, there are still firm believers that it just looked too gold.
Perspective is such a weird thing.

The community explains what the subreddit is mainly about: "Forced perspective is a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is."
"It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera."

Needless to say that some of these shots are so unique and even hard to achieve for a professional photographer's level. They are timed at such a moment that your brain is trying to make sense of the unusual view. But it is also the fact that luck plays a huge part in these pictures of confusing perspectives.#16 "You can't swim here."
