Wasn't really in love with this one... but then I changed the colours a bit and added the nature bokeh photo and it looked a little more appealing :)
****This photograph was chosen on January 26th 2014 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE(Highest Ranking: #169) . This is my Nineteenth photograph to be selected, my Tenth of the New Year which I am amazed and delighted by as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the amazing photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to everyone who visited, favourite and commented on the frame*****

The complexity and richness of Jupiter's "southern lights" (also known as auroras) are on display in this animation of false-color maps from NASA's Juno spacecraft. Auroras result when energetic electrons from the magnetosphere crash into the molecular hydrogen in the Jovian upper atmosphere. The data for this animation were obtained by Juno's Ultraviolet Spectrograph.
The images are centered on the south pole and extend to latitudes of 50 degrees south. Each frame of the animation includes data from 30 consecutive Juno spins (about 15 minutes), just after the spacecraft's fifth close approach to Jupiter on February 2, 2017. The eight frames of the animation cover the period from 13:40 to 15:40 UTC at Juno. During that time, the spacecraft was receding from 35,000 miles to 153,900 miles (56,300 kilometers to 247,600 kilometers) above the aurora; this large change in distance accounts for the increasing fuzziness of the features.

How? it's asked quite often. ( direct 5120X5120 full size link for non Flickr visitors)
I'll explain what's going on here and how I did it in just a few steps.
I make a ball.
I copy & paste it a few times in a straight line. (above image, 6 times from center to right)
I attached the straight line of balls together as one unit. (called a group)
I copy & paste it a few times in a fan style until I get 180 degrees, pivoting on the original center ball, now an end ball.
I attach the entire fan shape balls into one unit. (group)
I copy and paste with a slight size reduction and a step back all the way towards the rear of image.
That's about it for the layout. The other details to make the reflections and color along with all lighting are other aspects in getting a good 3D result.
Although it's 3D programs that I'm discussing, the same technique also applies to photoshop and 2D image work.
BIG HELLO & Happy Weekend to you from my little 3D world (in Ottawa, Canada)
Anemone Coronaria - Poppy Anemone 'Mr. Fokker' (Common Name - Grecian Windflower). I think I have the right name for this finally!

Great conditions this morning (around -10C, no wind, fluffy snow), but the snow had stopped falling by the time I got out. Had to "scoop" clumps of flakes onto my wife's fluffy tuque using a wooden spoon and hope for the best...
Laowa 100mm F/2.8 2X Macro and Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Godox AD180 Flash. 30 frames in this handheld focus stack (!), with a few stacking artefacts remaining... Shot with the lens around 1.5:1, but I still have to measure what magnification this gives with the Raynox...
