Worth saying that as far as trickery is concerned, the only thing is the colour restoration from the black and white conversion - all the form of the Acanthus head is just as it was shot in the first place - no smoke or mirrors! Jono

Hi Jono

Impressive image in many ways but a step too far with the trickery for my taste...

Wonderful composition, but the color/grayscale effect just doesn't work for me in this shot. - Warren Sarle

Jono, you've outdone yourself, what a beautiful image. Charles

Hi Paul - actually, it's neither photoshop nor mirrors - I think it's called a fibonacci series! Only photoshop was the channel mixer and a little history brush to recover the green - jono

Simply beautiful. Now for the big one, is this PS or mirrors? - Paul
