Title: Computer stress test
Post by: Magnum on July 09, 2010, 08:19

The picture below has 2 identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at St. Mary's Hospital..

Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical; a person under stress would find differences in the two dolphins. The more differences a person finds between the dolphins, the more stress that person is experiencing.

Look at the photograph and if you find more than one or two differences you may want to take a vacation.

Ok, I know I'm stressed a bit, but it's less than I thought :)
At least, both are mammals, but I don't agree they are identical, because this horse on my left looks bigger than mouse on the right.

I can only see one difference; look in the shadows, the one at right is darker.

Or could it be my screen calibration?

Glad to see that I don't need a vacation.  Now back to work.

Great test, my boss is happy with my results.

You know you're stressed AND doing microstock if your first reaction to this test is "whoa, lots of artifacts".

Glad to see that I'm not stressed at all.
I can clearly see the cow ant the dolphin grazing together on green meadowland.
What I don't understand is why they put that dolphin there... ???

LOL!  Good one Magnum ;D

FWIW, living on the Gulf of Mexico, it's just nice to see dolphins that aren't covered in crude oil.... :'(

So if I'm seeing a cow and dolphin I must be ready to go postal.  ;D

This looks like a John Lund photo.

From the first time I saw it I'm pretty sure it is a John Lund photo. If it is, I'm asking myself where the big watermark is he always uses.
