Both of following scenarios is possible: - Due to a combination of various post-processing steps including image stabilization the leaf replaced the head. - The leaf is on a branch which is above the head and was pushed down by the wind hiding the face, due to the unusual angel of the branch that is non-obvious. And the artifacts around the "face" come form the image sharpening/stabilization magic not knowing what to do with that pixels. - The leaf might also be falling and it's connection to the branch can be an optical illusion, that kind of leafs sometimes have a "mini branch part" attached to them when they fall. I would say both is likely, and given that it was supposedly done under high zoom I wouldn't be sure if the human doing the photo can/does see it correctly, because our brain also does "magic" to make the things we see look "better" (like our brain actually fills in details from memory/eperience in some situations).
