In the image below, are the lines straight or curved ?

But if you look long enough you might start feeling curved yourself.

Here's another one

those circles appear to move but if you concentrate on one of them, you can see that it's still.

What do you see : a spiral or grouping circles ?

I like this one much. There's a face hidden in the beans but you can't "see" it at first. It took me more than 4 minutes see it.

Hint: the face is the one that doesn't look like the coffee bean

The stuff with the beans image is that the brain doesn't see the details at first in any image. (Except if you have burn your brain with forbidden substances like it seems some people do.)
