I'll kick off with a quick mono treatment

Stretched up tones in Lightroom and then some more in color efex.

I can't open the file in SilkyPix Pro 7 or Photoshop CS2.
PLEASE MAKE A .TIF

Something is wrong with the DNG. Tried downloading it with multiple browsers and tried opening it in multiple apps, including Photomatix and no dice. The jpeg is fine though.

84.3 mb is a bit large. Maybe because it is a hdr-dng? I'll upload a copy.

tif: Simple File Sharing and Storage. (even bigger

Why is your DNG 'only' 55MB but the one in Artgraf's post is 84MB? Your copy loads no problems...

Not a clue. I just imported artgrafs dng in lightroom en exported it again as dng.

I did the first edits on my Laptop not realizing how bad they were. These are the new ones.

A wild and crazy backlit sunset.

A Gothic Adventure.

Ok. Sorry about file. It was lightroom generated hdr-dng. I can search for the source raw files if anyone need it.

hope this doesn't get you reaching for a barf bag...

first i got to this by bw conversion, crop and perspective shifting in gimp, then using the symmetry/kaleidoscope filters in g'mic with selective layer masking bits and pieces here and there:

then i started messing around with the 'continuous droste' filter in g'mic, which I am showing you three variations, but there are infinite possibilities...

These are great, Todd. No puking whatsoever. In fact, out of all the wild entries you've submitted for these competitions, some of which I've never commented on but found truly amazing, the second, third, and fourth here rank among my favorites.
