I hate titles. I should have left it alone. I wasn't prepared for the many interpretations. To that end, I feel pretty bad for trying to bias the viewer. I thought the eyes and nose were kind of obvious -- enough that it would be safe to suggest it was a portrait. Penny saw it, and maybe Steve. But I wasn't prepared for cows and kissing couples (!). And I love that people saw different things. So you, the viewer, weren't supposed to see anything other than what you saw.
I did enjoy the snow and bark comments. It's the side of a dumpster.

While I'm a sucker for a good texture shot, next time push the lighting and orientation a bit more. I think this would have been stronger vertically oriented. Also, using a higher aperture the make the shadows contrast more with the highlights. Remember this is white snow, so it looks like one big highlight.
I've looked at this a couple times, trying to see the portrait, but I'm still missing it. To me, it feels like this would work well as a texture layer, but I'm not seeing much else for it :-/
