Default Insomnia Dementia or Something Else

First off I'll tell you I don't think I've lost my marbles, but I guess there could be an argument in that direction. Take a look at the following photo and tell me what you see. All I'll say at this point is that I saw this from a hundred yards away or so and was a little confused. Viewing large may help, or then again it may make no difference as I may have just crossed the line. I have already showed this to several people and they all spotted the same thing I see without any hints from me. If you see this remember I saw this prior to taking the photo and it is the subject of this horrible shot and I have not cropped on purpose in order to not bring it into direct focus I want to see other responses. Come on guys keep me sane.

What do you see?

Here is the crop, light playing tricks on the eye but I did spot this from a distance and thought someone was watching me.
Crop of what do you see

I think you have a very rare vegetarian bear.

You're freaking me out.

Seriously, I don't see anything in the picture but plains and dense forest on the background. Or is it what beneath the forest that you're referring to?

Alright a little hint, then I'll give you a crop. Look in the center of the image.

Are you thinking about the ape hiding in the grass? It's good but it's not Bigfoot! Maybe Tinyfoot but more likely a coincidence of grass textures, colours and shadows.
