Do you see Einstein or Marilyn Monroe?

Close up you may see Einstein.
Back up and you may se Marilyn.

If you wear reading glasses take them off and you may not need to back up.

I had to really back up before I could see Marilyn Monroe.

Oh wow! Very cool!

That's weird! I saw Einstein but not Marilyn Monroe, so I took off my glasses. I'm blind as a bat without them but I saw a very, very fuzzy Marilyn Monroe right away.

Wow! Had to back up about 5 meters though!!

yes, removing glasses helps a lot.

More background helps, too!
