Hi guys,

A friend of me asked if I can focus her eye. He says that there is a guy in the Screenshot_2021-07-10-21-43-26-253_com.whatsapp.jpgbackground. I don't have the skill set to do it. Thanks
 
I think you meant sharpen the eye...ended up sharpening overall with extra attention to the eye.. Did a bit of touch-up on the eye as well
Removed all the naughty cell phone bits... :cheesygrin:

Looks like it, looks like a person with white short holding a phone XD. But you will never be 100% sure, because it can be just a shape that looks like it, like you see sometimes on the bathroom floor or the clouds XD.

Hey, just catching up. Had to work this am.


You seriously believe this? Or are you just having a bit of fun?

Hi there. They're having a bad time I guess. Then he sent this and asked me if I saw anything. At the first look didn't see anything but then I looked again and actually there's something there. But it's probably a shadow or something.

I would agree. It's a huge leap to say that there's a naked man in the reflection. All that can really be seen is a clothed person wearing a dark colored shirt and shorts, sitting, and holding something. There' simply not enough pixel information to assume anything else. Had the central subject appeared naked, you would have better grounds to jump to a crazy conclusion. But as is, with a low res image and no solid pixel information, it's a desperate hurdle in making a statement that there's a naked man in the reflection. Why not a naked woman?

But I do realize, if they're having issues, rationality exits stage left, and he will see what he wants to see.
 
I had to talk a look for myself. This is what I get after Gigapixel 6x very compress mode. I might be able to say I see a forehead, two eyes and a nose. Are it just could be my Rorshack inkblot response. It was fun to try to see how far I could expand this and still make out anything that looked human.

Hi @Xaboitanew
Just to through another curve into all the interpretations a couple comments
1) The eye brain combination is geared to recognize features (such as faces body outlines) and fill in the blanks. So in some respects, one sees what your brain is geared to see and not all brains work the same way
2) The reflection you see in the eye is distorted (bloated out) due to the shape of the eye. Things near the pupil will be magnified and those further away will be diminished in size. If one were trying to reconstruct what was acutally there in the reflection, you need to somewhat reverse that bloating (I am not the expert) which I attempted by using the liquify tool using the pucker funtion centered on the pupil. I used my judgement on how much to use (best guess) to compensate. So you will end up with a new image and from that again one will see what they want to see. I outlined the area of the relective pupil an iris area so areas outside the yellow line can be ignored. Just one more interpretation.
