a snowglobe sky

a little like those holiday snow globes, but in reverse. I used Photoshop on a duplicate layer to create an "Amazing Circle" and inset it back into the original sky, using some creative blending between the layers.. all overlaid with a digital noise layer for the 'sparkles' you can see in the image.

 

as for the 'amazing circles':

I followed the procedure, first, as outlined here: brilliantdays.com/archives/2005/10/how_to_create_a.php ,

 

and in the flickr Amazing Circles group: www.flickr.com/groups/amazingcircles/discuss/116859/

 

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.
