sweet chestnut dryad

Please reveal what it is we are looking at, I am curious and intrigued by these very clever pics......

 

I'm not saying sean doesn't have a magic camera, but I have to admit I faked mine with photoshop.

 

Start with a square cropped pic of a tree, so you only have half a tree vertically.

Then copy and flip it vertically and put the two together.

Then copy and flip them horizontally, put them all together so you have a mirror of the original 'quarter' on two planes.

Then rotate on it's side.

You can do all sorts of different effects to it, but I used a water effect filter to pinch and pull the central vertical line to emphasise the face.

Hope that explains my method at least.

Sorry Sean:blushing:

Just keeping the sceptics happy,sometimes you can fob them off with techno babble (we know it's really rare chance encounters with spirits of the forests)

That's a shame. I thought it was some sort of fantastical xray type thingy with a bit of real magic thrown in!

I would have believed it too!

 

One serious question. Why is it called a Dryad?
