The illusion of gender
Consider me completely surprised. I'm still looking at both photos and trying to figure out why I key one in as male and one as female. And then trying to resolve that it's the same face!

I couldn't tell which one was supposed to seem female and which male, myself, although I have some problem differentiating faces, anyway.

Indeed. I had no trouble at all with the top one. Well, "trouble", given that this is an error. :)
