Took this image good bit ago on a hike to a local waterfall. Couldn’t help but see a mans face in it. Not sure if its just me though…

What an entrancing combination of colors and shapes.!
Forgive me for messing with a lovely image, but as is the case so often, wonderful subjects have various options to present themselves. The attached is a bit more semi abstract than your, mostly due to the flip.
I flipped it and did some burn/dodge.

Your “guy” has a very pointy nose, Jim, but that eye makes the image. I like the gentle mix of colors and sharp shapes. Dick’s flip does make for an interesting abstract, but it could be interesting to see the rotation without the major push in saturation.
