In this day and age, everyone’s a photographer. With high quality cameras attached to the back of our phones, taking that perfect shot becomes an ordinary thing, and we can all express our most creative sides easily. Still, some moments cannot be staged and perfect coincidences can put a huge smile on our faces.
Today, we gathered some photos that are so perfectly timed, you’d be amazed by the power of chance.
Take a look
1. A Round Faced Girl
You did something didn't you? Let me guess… You changed your hair?
Could this be a relative of the soccer ball faced goalie?
This kind of reminds us of Spiderman's Mysterio - the ball-headed supervillian - but more agile, and with many, many more sparkly sequins.
2. X Marks the Spot
If you've ever wondered how to make a human X, now you know and can spell DETOX too!
It really took us a while to understand what was going on in this photo, and once we got it, it took us even longer to fully appreciate it! The placement and positioning is, simply put, perfectly executed. We can't stop looking, because even after we figured out what's going on, it's still quite mond boggling to look at.
Hats off, ladies.
3. Buddha Said No
It seems Buddha is trying to explain that this world is moving forward too fast. We should all just hit the brakes for a second and relax.
It's either that, or the Buddha is playing with a model plane, zooming it around the sky, making engine noises, pretend crash landings and takeoffs.
Actually, it could also literally be a model airplane someone glued to the statue's fingers.
Which is it?
We'll probably never now for sure - but our money's on a passing plane that just happened to look like it's being held.
4. Demonic Dance
We're not sure exactly how she does what she does - but the fact the photo was taken mid-dance makes her look possessed.
You know what, it's not just the fact that this is mid-dance; it's the jet black hair, the red satin gloves, the overcast location and the apparent weightlessness and insane flexibility of the dancer that all add up to something slightly grotesque, unsettling and uncanny, but also intensely, darkly beautiful.
5. Green Screen
Stay put, we will be back shortly with some new landscape motifs for a perfect camouflage.

In the meantime, marvel at how perfectly matched this girl's jeans and t-shirt are with the sea and the sky. This photo's greatness lies in its simplicity: it's a deceivingly clever concept, but the execution here is so perfectly done that we can't seem to look away. It's almost an optical illusion, a perfect storm of all the various elements coming together to form something beautiful.
6. Focused
If you've been to a military parade, then you know they usually go something like this:
At first, they're exciting! Soldiers, uniforms, tanks, trucks!
But as the endless procession continues, things can get a little dull. And if you think that's true for spectators, it's doubly true for the soldiers taking part. Imagine marching in close formation all day long, not being able to look left or right, talk to your friends or zone out, even once.
Yawn!
It's a good thing they didn't say anything about moving your mouth.
