The best way to improve your skill and confidence as an advanced searcher is to practice.
The below images present an opportunity to apply what you've learned about visual refinement.
Each image has an anomaly (something different or unusual than expected) that can be identified by using your 'search brain' to filter the image using the techniques discussed in the course.
The exercise takes at least 10 minutes.
Spend as much time as you need to inspect each image. When you are ready to see the answer, drag the slider at the bottom slowly from left to right to reveal the anomaly.

NOTE: Out of respect to the victims and the responders, I'm not including graphic images of people trapped, injured or killed in a void space. Interpreting the images requires the same visual acuity needed by all great searchers, regardless of what they end up locating.
As discussed, mental priming is a powerful tool.
If you knew in advance what you were looking for in each image, the time it would take to find it would be greatly reduced.
Try it.
Also, bookmarking this page is recommended so you can refer back to it for refresher practice.
