Optical illusion: Only a true detective can find a pencil among the carrots in 5 seconds

Optical illusion based puzzles are fun to solve as they trick you into not seeing something that is technically right in front of your eyes, with the help of using colors and patterns that fool your eyes and brain. However, if you are extra attentive and careful, then you could be among the very few people with an extremely sharp mind and eyes to solve such optical illusions in a short deadline. So, are you ready to test your observation skills? Here is a challenge with medium difficulty levels to see where you stand with your attention-to-detail skills.

In the picture below, you will be able to see lots of carrots put together in a random fashion, with some bunnies peeking behind them. Your task is to find a carrot in this image. You only have 5 seconds to find it. Are you ready? All the best! Your time starts now!

Find the pencil: Solution

The pencil is hidden in the bottom right corner. What makes it tricky to find is it being of the same color as that of the carrots, as well as the shape is quite similar for it to be perceived as one of the carrots in a short time frame.
