out of lurker mode, and into full, accredited membership!
Anyway...I took this picture about 4 months ago, while trying out a new lense on my camera.
The sceptical side of me says it's simply an unusual play of light on some hidden tree trunk..
The "I wanna' believe" side of me says otherwise .
So, what do you all think?
My word of honor..nothing done other than to enlarge the unusual part of the photo.

a larger view of the "face" in the trees.
spooky thing is...I swear I can see vertical slit pupils in the "eyes"....

It looks like a normal man to me.

Awfull big eyes for a normal man..
one of the guys at work thought it looked like a skull!
like I said..no idea.
No body though...at least, none is visable

Can you post a larger original image so we can see what the object is? The magnified object is too pixelated and fuzzy. Thanks

It's really interesting. Was there anything in particular that you were taking the photo of? (besides the trees) Did you have the feeling that you were being watched, because it doesn't look as if It is looking directly at you (hard to tell with such large eyes though). I know when hunting deer that you don't just stare at it, or it will become aware of you.

Maybe you were being hunted

It looks like a man to me.......or some really great imagination.

I can see why you say it looks like an alien's head. It does look like a skull also.
Dunno what it is though.

looks like a cut and paste job to me

It looks like a skull to me as well .. but I don't think that its some kind or Alien thingy
Its just some trees or leafs which formed that shape .. nothing more than that ..

Is it possible for you to return to the same location and take some more shots from the same position (and in the same direction) ?

Chris Low.

It's a little creepy looking...it does not look like a skull too me.

Nightwing,

You should go back like suggested, and try taking some more photos of the same area, and even perhaps look around if you must.

all i see is a tree trunk, with light and shadows...no man, no alien, exept in the magnified pic.

it's just a photoshop

It isn't forced to be. It could be just the way that the shadows have cast on the various objects, etc.

Nightwing, like we have said, if you are that curious, you should just return to the spot that the photograph was taken.

Nuthin paranormal hit this right on the button. Folks... its a freaking tree, it has leaves and sunlight reflecting on to it in various shapes and forms... But... if you still feel like being creative... go ahead... pretend you really think it's something other than that

I agree with Mystify, it's a freaking tree, there is nothing great about it.

Man, didn't mean to open up a hornets nest..
I catagoricaly deny it is a cut and paste...I have the originals, and the negatives.
I do suspect, like has been mentioned, that it is light and shadow on a tree, that just happend to look rather interesting..
But again..calling it a cut and paste with no proof is a bit harsh..and I know that no proof of such is possible, as I took the pic.
I did think about going back, but the problem would be finding the same spot again...I was just walking through the woods, and have no idea at all where the shot was taken.
I will upload a larger version to the place mentioned.

It looks like there is a slightly red object sitting on the "head" with a white part right above the face. This could be a hat with sunlight on the bill. Do you have any neighbors who could have been strolling in the woods that day and fallen victim to strange lighting conditions? Though this still wouldn't explain the freaky looking mouth.

<-speaking of strange faces...is this some sort of ninja?

I think just leaves and the sun makes it look like the head of something

how in the world did u notice something like that in the picture, when its that small?

i think u cut and pasted as well

I think Nightwing seems very sincere that this isn't a cut & paste job.
He just wanted our opinions on a picture he took where something looked odd. Even he admits it can be the lighting and not some alien.
Maybe I am wrong and it is photoshopped, but we have to be open-minded here that anything is possible. It could be a real pic, It could be photoshopped, It could be leaves, It could be an alien.

But anyways, it is hard to tell by the pics pasted here what the 'face' can be. The enlarged version you have does indeed look like it has facial features. I look forward to seeing the entire larger pic though whenever it gets posted in the photo album! It'll be easier to tell what's going on if we have a clear image of the area surrounding the face.

Great pic though! Maybe it IS something strange!

It looks a little stretched! Maybe some practical joker wrapped a plastic alien Halloween mask around the limb of a tree?

Tiki man returns!

It looks like me...

I doubt it is a cut and paste job.

Your not claiming it is an actual alien, you just stated it looked like one.

Why would you "cut 'n' paste" it if you was going todoubt your own story?

Did you ever get the larger picture posted to the image gallery? I looked but did not see it there. If it is can you post the link to it?
Do you have a website you can post the original pic to maybe and just link us there?
I a very interesed in seeing the actual pic without any enlargements or markings so I can check out the surrounding area of the 'face' as well.
The enlargement does look very 'face-like' so this pic has me very interested!

I submited it several days ago, but it has never shown up!
The submition page does state that every image must be approved by a moderator, so maybe there is a back up or delay of some kind.
Hopefully, it will get posted at some point.
Meanwhile, If you are interested, I would be happy to send a copy to you.

Sorry for the delay Nightwing, there's been a backlog of submitted pictures that have been waiting to be added and I haven't got round to yours yet. I'll get it added to the gallery in just a moment.



Edit - That's it now in the 'member ghost photographs' section

I have just looked at it in the gallery, and it does look like a greys head.
However I am sure it isn't and it is just the way light is hitting the tress and bushes, etc.

I'm not quite sure what it looks like...
It does look creepy, but not quite real. And it also looks quite out of place, as if it's blending into the background; which leads me to believe it's just light patterns playing a trick on us...

Looks like a trick of the light to me. The eyes are the same shade as the tree trunk in that part of the photo, the white bits are like the other whited-out bits of greenery in the photo, there's also a bit of branch/leaves as well.

Hmmm interesting! I just went and checked out the bigger pic in the gallery!
It does clearly have facial features that stand out against the rest of the pic.

You know, these aliens are probably very advanced where they can camoflauge into the scenery. So perhaps this is what is going on?

I dunno. It does look like it could maybe just be the lighting. But the facial features are just too defined. There are clearly eyes, nose, and mouth visible. It doesn't look so much either like it's actually part of the tree....

Oooh ooh maybe it's an alien poking it's face through the air from another dimension and thats why there is no sign of a body? Never know!

It's easy to say that it's just part of the trees, but it really doesn't look like it's actually attached to the trees. It looks a little too different to me.

That fox in your avatar is adorable, MoonFox!!!
I want a cuddily cartoon fox...

I don't see nothing I think its just a coincidence

It looks like a dead Indian to me. They are no eyes because he is dead ! Perhaps there is an Indian graveyard in the forest. Do you now the history about the place ?

It looks like a bees nest gone rotten or one of those gas masks.
