I believe you're referring to the term *[Inattentive Blindness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inattentional_blindness)*.

Well, not quite inattentive blindness I think... there’s nothing outright unusual being introduced in the photos. It’s more like seeing how well people pick up on the small details.

Will any cues be given on what is it to be attended? If it's a pic with a lot of details, it's not necessary that the intended detail be even noticed.
