Here, aside from the skull-- I see this figure.

I mean, you guys know these puzzles better, so whatever, but the reason this doesn't seem like such a stretch to me is because it's such a typical figure in religious (and other) art throughout history. The skull seems to be on a different layer, and maybe I'm just seeing that one, but this weird texture, what a bunch of people have scene as a standing figure with a kneeling one slightly to the right of it, is just... I don't know, bugging me.


Then again... I really... really really really really really... need sleep too.

Pinko - that's what I saw too, but couldn't bring it out any. It made me think of Grigori...

but again, I don't think it's anything to note. I think it's safe to say we can hault image discussion save for any huge revelations.

you know, now that i think about it...it looks to me like a snapshot from the video about brees dads death..(when they were walking towards the cafe table)

NOTE: click on images to see full sized versions...

I think the skull, while very clear, is still just probably an illusion. The outer curve of the skull is actually the inner curve of a remnant Theta + Pi symbol that pops out if you sharpen the AMALGAMATION.jpg image like this:



Here, for comparison is a sharpened version of LIGATURES.jpg



At first I thought it looked like a vest, but now I think the figure on the right side looks like the shoulder and arm of a man with a necktie visible. But it could be robes on a statue or something like that.

well, in the one with four symbols, the opahid symbol is blurry. and i don't know why.

riiiiiiight here

It doesn't look like a skull to me. It looks like a bald headed watcher wearing sunglasses to me.

That's really clear, good job... I'm pretty sure I see a rectangular platform type thing the figure appears to be standing on [looking back, I see it on Ziola's too], so it looks most to me like a robed statue of some sort.




And I don't really care about revelations at this point-- if it's there, it's worth pointing out.

I set this up in stereo. Relax your eyes till their slightly crossed and you see a third image appear between the two.




There appears to be a man with intense eyes and a large nose peering out of the center of the image. Also the rose on the lower left becomes a bit more obvious to me.

Then again, may be it's just a Rorschach.

Has anyone tried putting these pictures into Photoshop or something and separating the layers rather than sharpening them or whatever?

If the layers have been merged then it'll be more difficult to pull out the underlying images, but if they haven't, then it might be possible to eliminate the top layer to see clearly what is underneath... unless it wasn't done digitally, in which case my idea won't work.

[kellylen]

if its a .jpg the layers have already been merged so it'll be rather diffficult to do

[PinkoLady]

Yeah... I'm not seeing anything, Luminous.

[Loki]

Hmm... it only makes me wish I had some kind of paint/photoshop program on my computer... I would love to have a crack at pulling these pics apart...

[tiltingwindward]

Could someone clarify for me what we hope to get out of this photoanalysis?

[kellylen]

Yeah... I'm not seeing anything, Luminous.

lol same.

i see nothing anyone has pointed out yet lol the only thing I see is something that resembles a person on the right side of one of them...

like seiroulsy i was looking at them and one point thought i saw naked boobs

Could someone clarify for me what we hope to get out of this photoanalysis?

Feeling active until something more productive can be done?

[kellylen]

but if we all are photoanalysizing then.. nothing will get done right?
