Nice optical illusion. Did a search and it didn't show anything. Pretty cool anyways

How this is works is very simple, you have two types of photoreceptors in your retina, rods which sense light intensity and cones which detect colour. When you move the mouse cursor over the image, your cones are still firing with the colour for a fraction of a second.

it stays 'colour' for as long as you dont move your focus. well, 'does me anyway.

The one at the back obviously. I mean he's further behind and he still appears bigger than the front guy. Side to side he must be a giant :eek:

(I do actually get the illusion btw

)
