The mind-boggling image shows a grassy seemingly peaceful landscape.

It challenges you to find the sniper who has managed to perfectly blend to their surroundings.

The photo is part of a series taken by artist Simon Menner on military training grounds in Latvia and Lithuania.

The photographer spent six years following snipers on training exercises to capture their incredible ability to blend into their environment.

He watched them help each other make their "ghillie suits" using natural elements such as leaves and dead grass to match each landscape.

His series of images - called Disappearing Act - appear at first glance to be quiet and sometimes eerie landscapes, from sunny meadows to fog-shrouded mountains.

He told WIRED: “I like this project because the key aspect of the photos isn’t visible.

“In a way the interesting part is when the story happens in their minds.

"They look for the sniper and think they found them, but then begin to question themselves. I find that fascinating.”

If you are still struggling to spot the sneaky sniper, focus in the background, on the right-hand side of the picture.
