Double-rainbows are hard to catch -- I've only seen a few myself. The positioning of the branch helps turn what could have been a distraction into a compositional element as it parallels the arcs of light.

Yes! I'm so glad you spotted those -- usually I'm good at seeing the "other picture in the picture" but not this time. The actually remind me of the traditional comedy/tragedy masks seen in association with the theater industry, which was actually one of my alternate topics if I hadn't gotten hold of this one.

The other reason I cut off the nose was that it was pretty lopsided, and I didn't think I could (legally) clone it enough to straighten it out -- I try to avoid taking any liberties with the rules that other members might not get away with. :-)

I wish the bottom weren't cut off too, but leaving it in would have required too much cloning work to have been legal under the applicable rule set. I tried to fix these problems in the print version.

BTW: The mask is being "worn" by my vitreous friend, Professor Airhead:

The ear protection is a nice touch which shows a true familiarity with the photo topic ... ;-)

I named the photo as I did because it really reminded me of the swirling cloud of demons at the end of "Night on Bald Mountain" as depicted in Disney's Fantasia.
