When you leave your house and come back, and everything is just as the way you left it. Your brain is not forced to do much in that situation. But if you walk into your office cubicle and there is a red box sitting on the table that wasn't there when you left, your focus will go to that new object. That's your visual processing skills.
When every day you are living in the same predictable environment, your brain stops paying attention. This can lead to a decline in attention span. The brain prioritises processing novel or unexpected information, and a lack of novelty can lead to mind-wandering and reduced focus.
To this effect, visual illusions play a crucial role in maintaining your visual processing skills and attention. Visual illusions can reveal the constraints that your visual system must have developed due to a lack of mind-invigorating activities. Your brain must be exposed to experiences that stimulate mental activity and enhance alertness, thus making it sharper and more focused.

Look for areas where the negative space (the background) seems to form a shape tha may resemble a whale's body, tail, or fin.
Zoom in and examine the detail closely. Look for small variations in the pattern or outlines that might be used to camouflage the whale.
