Spot the Differences


Did you noticed this stamp on one of yesterday's envelopes? It was issued in 2023 to commemorate the 100th birthday of Jorge SemprĂșn, a Spanish writer and politician. He lived in France most of his life and wrote primarily in French, and La Poste dedicated a stamp to him as well (I have recently got it).

At first sight, both seems to have chosen the same picture!

  1. Interesting! Same attire in both photos. A slightly different pose. I wonder if they were taken on the same day?

    1. I see difference in the sharpness and contrast of the photos. But I also tend to see a slight difference in his pose (towards the camera). I think it can bee seen best by looking at his ears: his right ear (on the left, seen from our point of view) seems to be more narrowed (thus turned a little away from the camera) on one picture, compared with the other.

      Thank you for sharing such a good puzzle! :-)

  3. I think they are the same picture but with a different contrast level. I prefer the second one.
