OMG!!!!! It looks like some giant monster with bad teeth is about to eat you, Sister.
I hope you got out of there in time.
HEHEHHH!
It so funny to see a face where the two halves are similar. It's unreal, isn't it.
But it sure makes a fantastic piece of artwork. Well done - as always!!! #10775035

Hi Jeff, SSSKiki, Monnie, Tiia, and Bobby Ray!

Thanks all of you. I have been in a creative slump lately and am trying to get a kick start. So I re-hired my model that works (dirt) cheap and made her sit still a while. HeeHee...

SSSKiki, you know what else that was neat about the 180* split? It was that in the original image, my head is slightly tilted!!! So when I did the 180* split this gave me more "girth" in the upper head. HA! And a big think roman nose. Gotta love it.

Daddy always said he have to laugh at ourselves and he'd be laughing with me if he saw what can happen in DDR. Oh how I wish he could have enjoyed today's photography. He'd have been amazed.

Thank you all so much!

This is crazy-creative, Pom, and one of your best SP"s, ever!
Soooo colorful, and that mirror image works wonderfully here. It's also a great reminder about checking out that effect and so many others in Photoshop. Thanks for posting it!
August is gonna be YOUR month, Kiddo. The theme is Self Portrait!! ;-D Looking forward to some fantastic images! #10791292
