a new visit to the "amazing circle" technique, this makes use of the windy rains stirring up the lake, last week, as a setting for the "orb".
I followed the procedure, first, as outlined here: brilliantdays.com/archives/2005/10/how_to_create_a.php ,

I Am using the basic wondrous polar coordinates transformations as beautiful in and of themselves, but also as starting points for grounding them in their origins and/or creating new relationships for them.
The double icing on the cake is that I discover new Photoshop tools, and, by posting the results here, gain new friends.
Day 51: Today I got up this morning and could of done a nice 365 image however I let my day drag went to preston bought new shoes then came home chilled out then got angry with my self for wasting my time so instead of sat here refreshing facebook over and over I thought you know what let's do this! hence this image I hope you like it! :)
This is from the picture of multi-colored ribbons that I put up for the "One Picture - Many Images (Challenge II)" thread at our "Kaleidoscopes Only" group.
Created with the GNU Image Manipulation Program aka: GIMP
Made from two images, the character is from Venice, Italy, and the background from Grado, Italy. Edited in PS Elements.
First real effort in Corel's "Painter IX.5" software.
This was not "automatic" painting ( a feature the software has).
Each brush stroke was applied by hand, over an ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH. ( Click blue link to see photo.)
The original photo is no longer part of the image you see, as that layer was subsequently removed.
Canvas texture and signature added in "Paint Shop Pro X."
The brush strokes and areas where I became impatient to finish are more easily seen in the LARGE SIZE.
Many thanks to Matuko Amini for her encouragement and great "tip" on how to begin.
Check out her "digital painting" sets --- just click on her name, above.
the base image is a macro closeup of a dried up rubber tree leaf... lit for creating shadows and reflections.
In processing with Photoshop, I added the circles as if they were in the background.
The round highlight beneath the leaf is the reflection of the lightsource, and a great excuse to add such a circle to the image... as if I need an excuse.

A stiched compound image, composed of 6 individual exposures. This only worked because the pipefish was not moving, even when I was pretty close with my camera. Also, this is such an elongated animal!
Joseph Beyeus version - with a digital mosaic as the background. Is this still photography? Certainly it's art.
Moleskine sketches and Photoshop. The background is a collaged photoshop illustration using textures and filters (not a photo).
Another fantastical Amazing Circle bubble with geese.

While out mowing the leaves today(I have a mulching mower which makes fall leaves a great deal easier than blowing or raking and bagging) I was struck at the variety of textures and colors and lines...so I stopped and went and got the camera and did a few portraits.
Image Manipulation:
Winter Games next month. Ski Jumping, something I did as a youngster, on backyard hills, the park in our backyard and the slalom hills. Never did go off the biggies. Couple of brothers did though, one was real good, almost made it to the Olympics. Still one of my favorite winter sports.

Maverick? Maybe that's the poor man's Marlboro. But, perhaps they need to up the price and aim for McCain fans. ("Be like your presidential candidate, be a maverick!") Just guessing.
And, just messing around here -- what the heck, it's only pixels.
