This is supposed to be looking into a mirrored box.
I saw it on a tutorial on a site called "Gavtrain"

Outline of method
Make photo exactly square
Make 4 duplicate layers
Resize canvas of BG layer to 150%
Move layer to form LHS side of the box
Flip horizontally
Compress to canvas size
Using Perspective tool stretch into the corner
Repeat for RHS
Repeat for Top & Bottom except flip vertically7
Select LH layer and reduce brightness -80
Select RH layer and increase brightness +80
Select Top & Bottom layers and reduce brightness -40
And that’s your mirrored box

Its easier if you watch the video on Gavtrain

That's a pretty cool effect - I've never seen it before. I love the bright colours - excellent sharpness and detail. Great work!

Hi Jack

You certainly enjoy experimenting Jack, this is teqnically beyond me and is very different.

A good result but not my cup of tea.
