Does it look like a face???---The two bright lights on the top are slanted eyes. The light below is the nose and below that is the mouth. Can you see this??
just look at the central part of the picture---eyes on top and a mean looking mouth.
There is a chimney on the left, go up just a little (the size of your pointer) and go to the center. Do you see two eyes and as look down, do you see a mouth?
In the center of the picture, right in front of the corner of the dresser, do you see an image of a man in a green shirt?---This is a picture of a mirror and there was no man in the room sitting there to be reflected from the mirror. Can you see this?
A large "fish" with its mouth open.
Maybe i should lay off the whiskey---hahahahahahahaha---
