Sorry Cathleen but I couldn’t resist indulging myself in this challenge. Just for pleasure, nothing more. Keeps a pensioner off the streets

I thought that I was imagining that I could see a face at the back of the original photo but no. I printed it out and I can see to the right of the woman’s head a nose and nostrils. Above this are the eyes and below perhaps a small moustache like Hitler’s! Can anyone else see this?

I see what you mean Barbara. It's there on the glass plate too - I just had a look! The original photo had been taken in a studio with a photographers backdrop. Even the plant and pot look like they have been painted on. Isn't it amazing what can be done to enhance photos these days.

Barbara / Cathleen I’m so glad you two girls saw that face, it wasn’t my imagination after all then. A wee bit spooky having those eyes staring at me all the time I was working on the picture.
