Due to a rebound or fatigue effect of the colour cones in the eye.

I've seen many demonstrations of the after-image over the years, but this one has to be the most vivid of all I've seen.

Good one! 🙂

Groovy indeed.

Wow! Very nice..... I thought the rollover image was a coloured one for quite a few seconds.

What's it supposed to do? All I saw was a b&w photo of a castle surrounded by pink elephants.

I was aware of after image effects, but I never guessed that it would work in such detail..! Nice find.

It works right away for me. I must have wimpy cones. I just look, mouse over it, and there's the color.

wimpy cones.

Wow - I was convinced it was a colour image for a few seconds then! Strange effect though, it looked to me as if it was either a B/W image given false colour, or a shot taken in te 70's - you know, the colours look somewhat faded.
