Weekly Photo Challenge – Surprise
I took this image in the spring when I went to High Park to photograph the Sakura trees. What I liked about this tree was that when I was looking at it there was a face staring back at me straight on. Imagine my surprise when I was processing this and I saw another face in the tree looking out to the left. See it?
I used Topaz B&W Effects to do the conversion to monochrome. Topaz Labs is having an amazing sale…40% off on all products until Dec 31, 2012. Use discount code “topaz2012″. Click here to check it out.










I see you met old longbeard. Neat shot.
