very fine and a better epitaph than many conventional monuments
evoking the skull and all nature's spirits inhabiting it

David, this is an amazing image, I've been staring at it for a long time. The face at the top reminds me of a totem pole... with wings!! I can't start to tell you how good this is... the textures and the mirroring effect are really stunning indeed

David,
This is absolutely stunning !
I have done some mirror imaging with water falls
and love to look at the faces and creatures that are created
when this effect is used.
You have inspired me to try this on driftwood, once all the snow disappears.
I am definitely adding this to my favorites.
Congrats on a fantastic photo.
Dave

Thank you all for your kind comments. I'm attaching the original so you can see where this image came from. It was mirrored from a rectangle cropped from the center portion of the bottom edge. Nothing was drawn or painted in- all of the detail of the 'face' came from underexposed elements in the shadowed area at the bottom. Colors and details were amplified in PS, and the rounded shape came from darkening the exposure with the brush tool.
Magic or manifestation?
