By far the toughest challenge so far in terms of photographic context. Duplicity means deceit, in thought or action. I tried several different approaches, non of which were successful. Today I tried a something else entirely. Again, I'm not 100% satisfied.

Other examples can be found here.

Excellent idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! urmysunshine · 2012-02-11: 11:10

well since you say there is no photoshop at all I believe in you..you did then put a class in the back of the lens (which i envy..can you see my green eyes of envy?) a glass and you did the magic itself... did i guess it right? onlyricky · 2012-02-11: 13:13

still wondering about the glass grrr onlyricky · 2012-02-11: 21:21
