"Pareidolia"

These photos are part of a unit with the theme of reflections on the surface of the water. This kaleidoscope of colors and shapes, created by the reflection of light, has always magnetized my gaze and excited my imagination. It is obvious that in these images, the phenomenon of "pareidolia" acts in an intense way. As a result, vague visual stimuli are transformed in human faces, animal figures, and other familiar motifs. Of great interest is the fact that every viewer sees something different, which often does not happen to be the same as that seen by the author of the photography himself. This theme presents a big challenge for the photographer, both in the initial stage of taking the photo, as well as in the final stage of communication with the public.
