Okay Marc, I'm up for the challenge. This image is a stand of trees in the Cataloochee Valley in North Carolina. I was there to photograph elk, which I did, and then turned my camera to the trees. I used Nik Software and PostworkSho Pro to bring out the details and turn this into a painterly look.

I then copied the image, flipped it horizontally and layered them together. Camera is a Nikon D7000 with 200-500mm lens. The original image is shown in the comment below.

Barbara, you're pictures present an interesting rorschach test. I like them both, but find the added symmetry of the mirrored version more appealing...guess that's part of being a "symmetry nut"
