How to see the old woman

Seems that a few people have been frustrated by being unable to see the old woman in the picture I posted yesterday. So for benefit of Jane, Rachel, Clair and anyone else: here is the "Annotated Old Woman".

Old woman optical illusion

Does that help? Don't blame me if you still can't see it, or that the old woman looks a bit wonky. I didn't invent it, it's a famous optical illusion that's been around since 1888!

[Waits for posts from people complaining they can't see the young woman now.]
Jessica  I cant see the young woman 
clair  Nope, still can't see it.

I always liked the illusion with the vase/two faces though. I can see that one! 
Rachel  Nope times 2. Reckon explaining these things is more trouble than it's worth. ;)

Apparently, the more extrovert a person the more times the image will keep "flipping".

Go figure... 
Siobhan Curran  I'm sory guys, but how on earth can yous not see it?! 
Emilygrae  I can't remember seeing any exhibit or book or webpage or ANYTHING about optical illusions that DIDN'T include that picture. I'm with Siobhan on this, I can't fathom how people can't see both women. They're right there! 
Joanna  With Siobhan and Emily here.. I can't see how you can't see both...

although it is hard cos someone has put blue arrows all over the damn thing! 
Emilygrae  off the "flip" topic but just for fun, I'm sure you've seen these transparent computer monitors, but they're still fun to check out. http://www.flickr.com/groups/transparentscreens/pool/ 
Jane  Why am I listed? I didn't post to complain that you had used second rate optical illusions which you probably got off the back of a lorry.

I would like to point out that I could eventually see the old crone it was just it took a while and it keeps flipping back to the young woman. :-p 
Rachel  Got it and it's gross! LOL 
Lana  well if you cant see it upright, stand on your head LOL 
Helen  I love the way that the box sometimes appears to go in, and sometimes appear to go out. Is that the right optical illusion? 
Lana  Check the ""Trippy"" images on my blog
