17 Photos That Turned Ordinary Scenes Into Something Extraordinary

Have you ever looked at a photo that had everything to be perfect, but just because you blinked, it all went wrong? The exact timing of a click can be decisive — it can capture a flawless picture, one you’d even want to frame on your wall, or it can turn a beautiful moment into something fit for the trash. But then there are those photos that make us look twice, just to figure out what’s really happening. Wait... is that a baby holding a cup?"

1. “My dogs have similar coat colors, so they blend together when they hang out”

2. “That freakishly long selfie arm!”

3. “From an Ask-A-Vet group. I thought it was about a birth defect at first”

4. Dog floating in the sky

5. “Headless Subwayman”

6. This scary reflection.

7. “My friend is geodude.”

8. “Literally standing above my girlfriend.”

9. “Chillaxing in the park”

10. “It’s REALLY not what it looks like...”

11. “My shoerack makes it seem like my shoes are floating mid-air”

12. It’s gonna take more than a few looks to figure out what’s going on here

13. “He can’t start the day without it”

14. “This guy holding his daughter”

15. “Young girl posing with a bag of popcorn”

16. “Look at this judging dog on the bus”

If perfectly timed photos can make us question what we’re seeing, objects can do the same. Sometimes, their purpose is so puzzling that we even have to turn to the internet just to figure out what they’re actually used for.
