It wasn't a mystery. People are just being dumb.

I'll be honest, there was a moment there that I thought it was white and gold. Then I saw the light, and realized the picture was just blown out, and then I saw blue and black.

I seriously could only see silvery blue and yellowy brown until I saw an edited version, then the original changed a lot to blue and black

I could only see it white and beige, and couldn't understand how people saw it blue and black. Than, suddenly, I started seeing it blue.

That malfunctioned my brain...

It's kind of ridiculous... even when it's over overexposed, it's still clearly black and blue.

Maybe I just spend too much time tweaking my pictures with photoshop and I'm used to it, but to not be able to see that there was a serious lightning problem on it and not being able to discern the original colors, is quite incredible to me...

YOu probably have spent too much time in photoshop. Everyone I know considers me good at determining color, and it still took some time to realize it was Blue and black. Probably because I dont have much experience in actual photography.

Maybe, but to me it was so obvious that it took me a while to understand what the hell was going on... I just thought it was a massive global trolling lol

It felt a bit like this:

"Hey can yougive me this tomato?

-Euh... what tomato?

-This tomoato!!

- it's a carrot.

- No it's a tomato

- Euh, no it's a carrot.

- WTF?? No it's a tomato.

- Man, What the hell is going on??
