the face in the black tower

Does anyone else see a face in the black tower? A man with grizzled beard.

Tom, you have really captured something here that is truly unique. The oblique angle of light is accentuating all sorts of features on the captain. Look at those concentric circles on the breast (Zodiac nipple pitch). And very cool composition on the red-shirted + red rope climbers on the Trip.

These shots are so amazing!
