We might have another 'white and gold or black and blue dress' situation on our hands, as no one can agree which direction the horse in this photo is facing.
The picture shows a horse against the stunning backdrop of a sunrise, but the optical illusion has left the internet baffled as they can't work out whether she's facing towards the camera or away.
Villager Jim snapped the gorgeous photo of the horse while on a walk near Chesterfield, Derbys, on Friday morning, after noticing the animal lined up perfectly with a glorious sunrise.
Jim quickly realised he had created an optical illusion, where your brain tricks you into seeing something that isn't there. Due to the bright light silhouetting the horse's head, it's tricky to tell which way it's facing.
To test his theory, him challenged social media users to tell him which way the mare was facing – and people were stumped.
The wildlife photographer asked Facebook followers to see if they could work out the correct answer.
In the post, he wrote: "What a stunning sunrise this morning, the question is though is the horse looking towards me or away?
"Answer is in a while but I love these as the more you look the more unsure you become."
Thousands of people interacted with the post, with most people absolutely stumped at what the real answer was.
One user posted: "Beautiful. One minute horse is looking towards the sunrise, look again and it's looking towards the camera, awesome."
Another wrote: "That's difficult. I first thought away but now I'm not so sure."
While another said: "Wow that's amazing it could be either. I think away but very had to tell."
Jim, who didn't want to reveal his real name, added: "People are literally split down the middle.
"Half the people think its looking one way and the half think the other. It's very popular.
"You become more unsure of your answer the longer that you look at it.
"I've had thousands interacting with it and commenting. No one really knows. It been more popular than I expected.
"With the sunrise with the orange sky, whatever you put in front of it becomes a silhouette.
"The area where I go is fantastic for sunrises.
"It's at a stables and they’ve got 15 or 20 horses that look over Chesterfield. Horse's and sunrises go really well together.
"You've got to get them in the right angle. I walked along so that the sun was in the right position. He was a friendly little guy."
Are you ready to find out the real answer? The horse is facing towards the camera.
