I have NO CLUE what that is. I keep looking at it from different angles trying to see SOMETHING, but I don’t. I tried seeing what everyone else said they saw.. and NOTHING. According to this photographer, it’s a lovely piece of art.. I’m just so confused.
to the first comment: no, it’s a calla lily painted on, which represents new life and future growth, or holiness, faith, and eternity. the choice of flower is fine. it’s how distastefully the painting was done and the awful photo that makes this completely unbearable.
“calla lilies have been viewed as a symbol of death and associated with funerals. In this capacity, they have been placed on the graves of youth who have suffered untimely deaths.”

Don’t waste your time guessing, it’s the typical “may i use your phone, daddy?” situation that I know so very well. Children of ages 3-6 are able to empty a 16 gb micro-sd card in a glimpse full of photos like this. True Story 😉
It’s not a flower… well it may be the shape of one. However, if you take the photo and put a ton of contrast in it you will realize the yellow part is an ultrasound pic. The face takes form when I tilt the screen on my laptop. As for the shape… who knows! Looks like she was ripped or cute open to reveal the ultrasound image.
Unless it’s meant to be totally abstract, in my view when you have to guess at what a photo is, turn it every which way to test it out in different angles, and the shapes or items in the image are ambiguous with respect to their relation to each other, the photo probably doesn’t work. To be an successful portrait or photos of a person, it should be recognizable – at least you should be able to tell what/who it is and what the person is doing. The concept was OK, but the execution fell short.
…if can’t paint, then don’t paint (if you are using the subject in a photography portfolio, cause on paper or canvas you don’t have to go for realism)
It is a lilly, but the coloring is bad and reference definitely wasn’t used because it’s missing parts.
Next time, spend $20 to get a well made fake flower. It would look better…and learn the symbolism of flowers. maybe some baby’s breath, or cactus flowers for maternal love or even day lillies if you want a boy.
For a pro, it can’t be just “It looks pretty, Imma shove it in.”
No… I still don’t see a lily. However, after tilting my head three hundred seventy two times, I now see a white horse with no facial features and a yellow mane.
I don’t get this. What is this? Is that an abdomen? I mean, I see hair, but…as far as I’m concerned, someone put an outfit on a teratoma. And do NOT google that if you don’t know it.

It’s a lily painted on a pregnant woman’s belly. Lilies being a symbol of death…Ick, I don’t like where this is going.
Pelham
Kudos on being able to see it as a lily, I can see it now too. Still doesn’t make me feel any better.
ashlee
how the heck did u see that “? Wow!
Brandi
I’m glad you saw that- all I saw was a cut open stomach to display fat 🙁
Kim
that’s what I see too.
Craziness

Lena
I think it is a baby on a sofa and the mothers head … her hand is touching the babys head… it can be a sliced pumpkin aswell that she has cut up… :0
Kevin
i thought it was an omelet.
BJ Pramann
I totally thought it was busted up cream puff.

Crystal
WTF IS THIS?!?!?!
sunshine
It kinda looks like she’s bearing down to give birth… or maybe its a pregnancy shot. I’m so confused!
nic
its a pregnant lassie, holding a flower to her bump. Got it after 10 mins of squinting…..
Becca
I think she just gave birth to a pancake!
Susan
LOL
ashlee
this made me lol !
Samantha
This is just confusing. It looks like the foam from inside couch cushions.
James
Did she get pudding on her?
BurninBiomass
What I’m seeing is a top down picture of a pregnant woman, who has spilled Lemon pie with Cool Whip on her tummy.
Crystal
So THAT’S what it is! Finally…
Crystal
Though I see her giving BIRTH to a lemon cream pie. But, that’s just details…
mylene
sooo strange … she cooked an egg on her stomach or what ????
John LeFebvre
I thought I was looking at a woman sat on a toilet…
Sandy
I thought she was starting her own c-section.

Gordon
looks like a piece of lemon meringue pie
Derek
This might look better with a vignette.
ashlee
hahaha my thoughts exactly lol- the darkest one possible , and heck , just go crazy with it ! Why not ?!
sarah
Looks like she’s giving herself a c section…
Melissa R.
That’s totally what I thought (after having had 2 myself)! Ick.
Alanna
It looks like you are looking at the photo through a peephole. BTW I wouldn’t have guessed in a million years that was a flower on her belly.
skynigurl
When I first saw it, it looked very “inappropriate”
Dana
So THAT’S where my slice of lemon meringue pie went to! The witch smeared it on her belly!
Oh she will pay for this….

Anna Anaconda
That’s it! There is definitely an ultrasound pic on the yellow part. I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure it out…

Pee. It looks like she’s sitting in a puddle of pee.

Looks like some kind of retouched, stylized taco between a chicks legs. Not the “pink taco”, the “YELLOW taco”.
Hailey
haha @ the fauxtog commenting on this photo.
Brad
I see it!!! I see it! Now I see the lilly!!!
Still sucks!
Kimmy B.
No… I still don’t see a lily. However, after tilting my head three hundred seventy two times, I now see a white horse with no facial features and a yellow mane.
Popping out of her stomach.
sunshine
Ok, I flipped my laptop to the side and its definately a maternity picture. I think its an egg and yolk leaking out of her belly.
Dana
I thought it was a bean (like a bean or pea pod or something). A bean, get it?
I think they were trying to be funny, that’s all. Not that that makes the picture any better.
Ann
I don’t get this. What is this? Is that an abdomen? I mean, I see hair, but…as far as I’m concerned, someone put an outfit on a teratoma. And do NOT google that if you don’t know it.
KN
I totally thought this was the beginning of a c section.
Aha
I thought i went blind.
Janet
It looks like a big mouth saying “Feed me, Seymour”!
Photomama
