When holiday snaps go hilariously wrong

IT WAS meant to be a cool holiday snap showing this tourist with a stunning scenic backdrop, but it turned out to be rather strange.

IT WAS meant to be a photo showcasing the stunning scenic backdrop, but instead it left many scratching their heads.

The bizarre holiday snap, which has been shared more than three million times after being uploaded onto Imgur, shows a man with what appears to be unusual facial features.

However, the illusion had been created when the backpacker turned his head around to answer a question while a panoramic shot was being taken.

The photo was uploaded by user Mailboxbroussard who was left in hysterics by the image of his brother.

Fellow Imgur users couldn’t get enough of it.

“I have been laughing for like 10 minutes,” User DoctorJungyBrongen wrote. “My stomach hurts. Send help. Oh my god.”

“When you’re trying to enjoy nature but someone asks if you’re hungry,” AlexXUndead wrote.

Keep still! D’oh.

Another user helpfully Photoshopped Nicolas Cage’s head into the image.

Cecilia Gimenez’s masterpiece.
