That's what I commonly think of as a shelf fungus.  You did a very nice job on the extraction and clean up.  I would be curious, though, to see the original background.

I'm pretty much assuming this thing growing on one of my trees is a form of fungi.  I don't really know for sure since it's like wood and grows along with the tree.  It doesn't decay like a mushroom would.  If there's another name for it, I don't know what it is.  I've been watching it grow now for maybe 7 to 10 years.  It originally was not on the tree but I've noticed now that squirrels like to sit on it.

The other day when we had some snow and I went outside to see what I could find interesting to photograph, I walked by it and noticed a little snow laying on the top of it so I took a little cha cha.

I didn't care much for the slightly out of focus background and to be honest, the alignment seemed off somehow.  I extracted the background by selecting it and painting it black.  I then touched up the edges through SPM's clone toll at the correct depths around the growth and tree trunk that was left a little off through the PS selection process between the two chips.

Finally, I realized I didn't care that much for how the alignment looked close up on the subject and cloned the whole fungi growth to tighten the alignment up a bit.

The crossview version will show less depth perception than the anaglyph of course and the lack of other depth elements in the background (or foreground) will not help this illusion either but I believe this is better than leaving the original background in, which was too far away to have individual depth elements and as I mentioned was not completely in focus with DOF.
