K3 + DA21 green ring, the image was sharp and clear but I added a little glow effect to make it dreamy so that it fits with my imagination of a fantasy world

.
the image on the upper part is a left hand view of the lower image. there is still a large section of the city to the right of a lower image which is not in here. Building everywhere!
So this is Tokyo north to north west direction from where I am.

A tornado would be devastating here. Would debris fall up or down?

Ha ha, interesting question.

Three crops taken from an image of flowers to which I applied a "glass bricks" filter.
Here's the first, which includes quite a bit of the original image, but still much less than half of it.

This second crop is deeper and taken from a different patch of the original than the version posted above.

And the third crop, slightly deeper still and taken from up along the edge of the first version above, but rotated because I thought it looked better this way.

Almost a true abstract, but it is still possible to see that this is a hydrangea.

Nice color spectrum from those petals...

I like all three, and especially the second...

As you might suspect, I kicked up saturation and vibrancy to increase the unreal look of the image.

**WPRESTO** · 08-02-2018, 03:13 PM

The second image is really intriguing.

It's also pretty obvious what this is, and perhaps it should be posted on the patterns/textures thread. Instead, I'll post one version here and a different version there, but from a different image file.

Well sir, obviously it is not very obvious to me as to what it is. What is it? Looks like someone with a very bad skin problem.

Thnx,

Tony

It's a mushroom cap, photographed straight down from above. On the other thread I included all of it = the complete circle.
