Space Odyssey  by taffy

Space Odyssey

It started as a fisheye of the Civil Opera House above the river, processed in b&w using Silver Efex, but seemed to need something else so exported to Picmonkey where I discovered 'mirror' and then thought the result reminded me of a spaceship, so then processed some more to create the feeling of space, reimported to LR for final edits. Fun way to kill some time, but probably would be better to instead go to sleep.
Better on black for the space effect.

Update: ETSOOI-95 1st place entry
I like it! It makes me think of one of those huge spaceships too.

Fabulous starship! You are making me laugh as your processing skills are taking you “out of this world”! Love it! Would look wonderful printed large! Fav!

Great fun! Times flies with Photoshop:)

What a beautiful image you've made. Out of this world, as Pam says!
March 15th, 2018  
Very creative

This is a building? Your artistic editing is mind-boggling to me! Or “out of this world”, as Pam said. You could always get a job in set design in Hollywood, ha!
March 15th, 2018  
Super creativity !

Your very own space station. Nice job!

Taffy I wish I had your processing skills! Fav for this fantastic creation!

Great processing skills. Love the colour. Looks very serene and futuristic.

That is such an effective transformation that I had to cover the bottom half to see the original scene. Such a clever edit Taffy. I hope you got some sleep.

Cool picture.
March 15th, 2018  
Very cool and creative shot. It almost has an outer space look to it.
March 15th, 2018  
Cool image with a syfy look to it...well done
March 15th, 2018  
Cool photo!
March 15th, 2018  
This is so clever Taffy To me it really does look more space ship/mechanical than architectural if that makes sense.
March 15th, 2018  
Oooowww - way cool and super fun!
March 15th, 2018  
Clever conception - beautiful execution.
March 15th, 2018  
Super cool result

Clever shot

OK, so that is crazy and really pretty. It does feel like a spaceship!
March 15th, 2018  
So cool!!!

@louannwarren The main focus in the original was the opera house which is third from the left. It was fun converting it into something else.
March 15th, 2018  
Love it!
March 15th, 2018  
Neat image! Fun to hear how you did it.
March 16th, 2018  
Creative brilliance
March 16th, 2018  
Brilliant !!

Ahhh...*Sleep* I have heard talk of such a thing but gather it's highly over rated! Look what would have been lost to all of us had you indulged in the likes of such as that! Personally, I've discovered our intuitive brains go on auto pilot in the wee hours and often produce the best work...

Here, Case in Point! ♥

Very cool! You definitely made it look like a spaceship! Well done! Now I've got to end looking at pics and get to bed myself.
March 16th, 2018  
Very nice processing
March 16th, 2018  
Works well! Fav.
March 16th, 2018  
Totally funky! (Did you consider rotating it 90 degrees?)
March 17th, 2018  
Simply amazing processing. Taffy.
