About This was made from a shot of a piece of driftwood on the beach of a small unoccupied island in Maine. It was my first attempt at using mirroring to create something anthropomorphic looking from an inanimate object.
The trail that begins just behind this beach was dedicated to my brother, a naturalist who died suddenly from cancer in 2002. I like to think that it is his spirit that animates this place and is somehow exposing itself in this image.

Really cool image with the mirroring. Great capture of the driftwood itself too. Well done!

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?

I'm so sorry for your brother, David!...and this is a great tribute with excellent lighting, amazing texture and details. I'm sure your brother will enjoy it.
My best regards, Paolo

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

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
Cherie Pie :)

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