WC #342 -Somebody's watching

I came across this "face" several years ago near a place called Lake Emma, on the south side of 14,148' Mt. Democrat, near Alma, Colorado. The sunset was amazing, and I was moving around shooting like crazy. But this little scene caught my eye, and I had to stop and shoot it. It took some pretty small, precise tripod movements to get the different colored reflections just right in the "eyes", but I think turned out pretty cool. Thanks for looking!

This is intriguing, and I think much more difficult to "see" and capture than smaller "faces." The eyes are stunning.

Hi Brent! Very creative, I don't think too many (myself included) people would have noticed this. And yes, the eyes are cool!! :toast:

Brent, This is very cool; I know Alma well. You've succeeded very well getting different colored lights in the eyes and in the toothy grin. Nice job. :toast:
