If you turn the Witch Head upside down, her sinister supernatural appearance becomes more apparent.
In Scott Rosen's image, start at the bottom to see the witch's protruding chin. Above the chin is her gaping mouth, and you can see both the upper and the lower lip. Above the upper lip is the crooked nose, and to the left of it is what appears to be an empty eye socket. (Yes, I guess it really
is empty.
)
Above the witch's nose is her forehead and her eyebrow and maybe her weird witch hairdo, and then her high witch hat which (witch?) appears to be flying off her head.
Now that's what I call a witch head!

Edit: The Witch in Scott Rosen's image is indeed staring at Rigel off the right frame of the picture. I think that Rigel is off the left frame of the APOD.
