What in the world..... I have no idea what this is, but it looks cool! I can see eyes, and a nose, and fangs...looks like a cat.

More info on what this is and what you did would be nice.

Very cool. But is it a photo?

Thanks rivas8409 and horsik.
@ rivas8409: This started out as a smoke photo. I used a mirror effect to create the figure & added a colour foil effect. I then softened it to give it a glow.

@ horsik: It was supposed to be abstract, but you make a valid point, perhaps it stopped being a photograph after the post processing was carried out?

A manipulation of reality...you made it art in my opinon. Photo or not it's damn cool!

Very nice. One thing you might want to consider, is the line where the images mirror. Throughout most of the image, it seems to "work" except on (what I am going to call) the pinchers near the bottom. The area about 20% up from the lower border. For some reason that just doesn't look right.

If it were mine, I would go back to the original, and using whatever transform/warp/liquefy tool works best, I would bring that part down a little, so it approaches the "mirror" at right angles, rather than an oblique angle. That way, in the final product, it would appear a single horseshoe shaped thing rather than a mirror reflection.

My 2¢

Thanks rivas8409 & Radtech1.
@ Radtech1: A good suggestion, I must have a go at that. Thanks
