The image was shared on Reddit, where the poster explained that they had taken the photo of the fallen leaves while on a trip a few months ago, and originally thought there was nothing to be seen except for the brown and green foliage.

But when he took a closer look, he was amazed to find a frog peeking out from among the leaves - and now he's challenging other people to see how quickly they can find the amphibian.

The frog is incredibly well hidden, and 10 seconds isn't a very long time frame, so don't be too disheartened if you're unable to find the creature quickly enough. The key to solving puzzles like this one is practice, as the more you do them, the more your brain will understand what to look for.

Take this one as slow as you need to, but if you do manage to find it within 10 seconds, you might just have super vision.

If you're really struggling, here's a hint to get you looking in the right direction.

The animal you're looking for is on the left-hand side of the image as you look at it. This means you can ignore everything to the right and focus your search on a more specific area, which may yield you more success.

Answer

The frog is in the upper left quadrant of the image, just above the centre. If you were to imagine a clock in the centre of the image, the frog would be at around 10 o'clock.

It looks like an unassuming green leaf at first, but if you zoom in, you'll be able to see an eye, and you can even make out the amphibian's legs protruding from its body - making it clear that it is not a leaf.
