Contest 226: Mirror image

I was intrigued by Jota120's entry to last week's Friday Challenge, which shows Poirot reflected in the mirror - with a view over his shoulder in front. It made me think: could we achieve this effect with just the one image? Is it possible to adapt a view of the shoulder from the front so it looked as if it was taken from the back?

An interesting Challenge, I think. You'll probably want to change the head - at least, I'm sure Neal will. Or, of course, use a body of your choice. This one's just a suggestion.

High res is here.

I'm not sure I understand the challenge. I have tried to adapt the view from the front to make it look like it was taken from the back.

As for me, I've ditched the clone tool and gone back to my cut and paste roots.

Apologies, I had a rethink about this one.

Pretty tricky this week. Excellent entries so far, particularly Nick (is that a self portrait Nick?) and Michael's.
The animated horse, Michael, is flawless.

Anna, your animation is inspired and that spider is fabulous.

Hmmm, self portrait, not sure how to take that!!. The simple answer is no, I'm much more rugged than that. I borrowed him from The Full Montage site. Knew it would come in handy for a special occasion - Thanks Steve.
