My original idea was to try merging a couple of images with a double exposure feel. I found an interesting picture of looking out the stone opening on a snowy day, and I superimposed a photo of my son's face in the opening. It didn't look right, so I added a layer that accentuated his eyes. It looked better, but I still wasn't satisfied. Frustrated, I randomly removed the superimposed face layer, and this is what looked back at me.
