The photograph was taken by artist Simon Menner, who was given permission to view snipers in action with the German, Latvian and Lithuanian armies.
It shows a clump of trees in an overgrown field with a cleverly disguised soldier taking position with a high-powered rifle.
If you look closely, you can see a small hill somewhere in the image.
Blending in with your surroundings is as much a part of sniper training as learning to hit a target a mile away.
They must be able to survive alone or in pairs in unforgiving terrain.
Simon spent six years tracking snipers-in-training to capture their uncanny ability to blend in with their surroundings.
He watched them help each other make their own “ghillie suits” using natural elements like leaves and dead grass to match each landscape.
The photographer’s series of images, called Disappearing Act, appear at first glance to be calm and sometimes eerie landscapes, from sunny meadows to mist-shrouded mountains.
In each image, a sniper lurks with a gun pointed directly at the camera.
If you need a clue to find the sniper in this idyllic grassy scene, look for the small mound to the left of the trees.

It comes as a TikToker known for clever puzzles and tricky optical illusions has released a video that few people can understand.
And another viral TikTok illusion video challenged viewers to spot a sniper hiding on the side of a rocky mountain.
Meanwhile, the clip shows a camouflaged shooter in a forest clearing who is invisible until he moves and reveals himself.
