Greetings Mira, It is a face in the snow. I see it!! I will have to get my snow face out from a couple of years ago. Great idea. Nice detailed photograph of wind sculptured snow.

Cheers,

Rich

Hi Rich, I am glad you like my face in the snow!

The most interesting about this photo is that it is an optical illusion. It's not so easy to see it from the screen, but easily noticed on printed photo. I have one on my table at work and sometimes enjoy in the ways how our eyes (or our brain) can deceive us! Three parts of snow, which in fact on the snow surface, can sometimes be viewed as if they are holes in the snow. Turning the photo upside down helps to see it. I tried it with lot of people, and some were really confused - could not tell if three contures are on the snow, or holes in the snow! I have lot of fun with it.

cheers

Great shot Mira. Very well found! It looks like a female as you can just about see the outline of her hair on the left side. :)

Thank you, Billy! You are adding the new perspective. I didn't notice before, but you are right! Good eye!

I very much like all your Photoshop works. Just great!

cheers

Yes Mira, the longer you look, the more faces you see. I can see even the elovution-theory in it.......at the right side, monkey change in human:)))) Great!!!

Hello Mira, I opened this one because the thumbnail made me curious. I have turned my laptop upside down, I have got below the level of my desk and looked upwards, I have peered closely at it from both sides; in fact I have studied it from every angle and yes I knew Santa Claus was real. You've given me the proof. Thank you Mira

By the way, how close were you to the snow? What a comparitively mundane question?

Greetings, Amelia

So, you've seen it Amelia! Great!!! I am not sure how close I was, probably half meter or so. The pieces were about 6 to 7 cm big, I think. I have some other shots that were more close-up, but I didn't upload everything. Thanks for visiting and checking!

Greetings, Mira
