Optical illusion challenge: Only a GENIUS can spot the dolphin within 6 seconds!

Optical illusions are crafted cleverly using shapes and shadows in such a way that we are tricked into seeing things that do not exist, or fail to see things that are in front of us the whole time. Our brain is constantly trying to make sense of what we see, and so it often does this by filling in the gaps, making us omit the things hiding in plain sight in the illusion.

Apart from challenging our visual skills, these also challenge our perception and ability to use our imagination to visualize something that not everyone can literally see or think of, but it is there nevertheless.

Here is one such interesting optical illusion in which you are required to find a dolphin in the picture of a rose. Are you ready? Once you figure out the answer, you will never be able to un-see it. You only have 6 seconds to solve this. Before you begin, you can also make it more fun by trying this challenge with a friend or family member, and see who wins first. Your time starts now!
