Well, I started out with something else in mind, but as usual the editing took on a life of its own once I got started. Talk about throwing a picture in the processing blender!

[Helen Jane]

You certainly are imaginative. Looks like you have taken that big tree out of its landscape and turned it into a bonsai!

[Lou Ann]

Whoa! A full grown tree in a planter! Snow, a compass! Smile.

[katy]

Yours always come out so well for you saying it wasn't what you intended! I like the futuristic look to this one

[Kathy]

You definitely think outside the box.

A great composition

@helenhall Thank you Helen! Yes, that's what I started out doing and then the little shadow looked like a hot air balloon and the whole "Around the World in 80 Days" thing started to grow.

@louannwarren Thank you Lou Ann- and a little hot air balloon too!

@grammyn Thank you Katy! One of these times I should go back and actually do what I intended to show the difference!

@randystreat LOL That's one way of saying it! Thank you Kathy for the nice compliment!

@wendyfrost Thank you Wendy!

[Francoise]

this works... I love the phrase "processing blender," too

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@francoise thanks Francoise! yes, that is my term for "I've done so many things to this photo I have no idea what they are or what order I applied them in".

[Louise & Ken]

Always fun to see what spills out of intuitive moments over which we have no control! Looks like a Bonsai tree!

[Daisy Miller]

Beautiful processing. Creative!

[Lynda McG]

Nice effect and tones!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@Weezilou Thank you Louise! Yes, I thought so too.
@daisymiller Thanks Daisy!
@lyndamcg Thank you Lynda!

[Rob Z]

Fascinating to see your starting point and your final product. I love the end result - very creative - I was at a loss of inspiration for this one....

[Kerri]

Awesome shot
