Did your description include a circle or a hole?

Explanation

Most people see a circular hole, even though one does not exist in this optical illusion. We see the important clues that suggest a circle exists and fill in the rest. This is an important feature of our eyesight. Otherwise, we would have difficulty identifying anything that was only partially visible.
