“You look like a lobster!”

We’ve all said it to a friend after a long day at the beach — or, if our friend is a redhead, 15 minutes. But that’s just exaggeration, right? We’d never actually mistake a UV-overexposed human for a tasty crustacean?

Actually, it’s more difficult than you’d think, judging by these extreme photo zooms. Take a lucky guess for each, and maybe get some prescription eyeglasses before you accidentally boil your buddy alive for dinner. Haven’t they been through enough heat already?
