Don't judge the books by its cover. People have their own sense. Cultural and society also effect how we make perception on what what we see. What you see in this image? What is your perception? From my view on a small image, the first thing I see of an old people face and after I contrast the image, then I can people setting, house, trees and grasses.
The art of seeing, Huxley said that"the more you know, the more you see". We gain more knowledge to get more information. I agree that sensing is not the same as perceiving. The eyes and nervous system do the sensing, Perceiving is related to the individual's experience. Clear seeing is the product of accurate perceiving".(Lester M,2001 p.4)

What your perception on above image?
Superman can fly but Barack Obama can't fly(simple perception). Body language show Barack Obama is strong and powerful. From my view Barack Obama one of the intelligence President of United States America from my knowledge and culture surround.
"In the case of Barack Obama, though, it's just fun. How often do we see a person and that person's politics infiltrate so many aspects of popular culture? Without question, Obama has literally altered the semiotic topography of America and American culture beyond what some have called "the Obama effect."

A current consensus views social perception as a bottom-up process in which the human brain uses social signals to make inferences about another's mental state. Here we propose that, contrary to this model, even the most basic perceptual processing of a social stimulus and closely associated automatic responses are modulated by mental-state attribution. We suggest that social perception is subserved by an interactive bidirectional relationship between the neural mechanisms supporting basic sensory processing of social information and the theory-of-mind system. (Christoph Teufal, 2010)
In conclusion, our perception are build through our sense, knowledge and culture. What we sees have signifier the meaning.
