Un-Frog-ettable moments

Any opinions or suggestions? Too corny???

I took dap's winning January photo, put it in Photoshop, and kept playing with it

dap's original

cooked in photoshop!

Can you believe the second came from the first?

Must have been a combined effort. Was it an amazing circle plus another?

Sage, you inspired me to try some Amazing Circles techniques on a few photos. I followed a Photoshop tutorial and came up with some incredible fantasies. I could see me getting waaaaaaay into that fun!!!

I also played with a few other filters in Photoshop. Here are some on this photo of a sycamore.

Circled and inverted.

Liquified


The last is an aster.

Liquified reminds me of paperweights.

Nice work, linrose! There is a Flickr group for Amazing Circles!

Hava, it's the name of a technique.

Basically,
crop your photo to a square; (this is when to work the contrast is you think it needs more punch);
Filter>Distort>Polar coordintes (bottom choice)
Image>rotate>180
Filter>distort>polar coordinates (top choice)

I went to that group, all I can say is WOW!!!

Amazing. Circles. I get it.

There is some real talent there, real graphic artists. I'm a hack graphic artist but I do my best. DH calls me "Chief Technology Officer and Marketing CEO" of our company. If that's true then we are in real trouble!

I just like to play!

Playing in Photoshop with a shot taken which turned out as a silhouette due to lighting, so tried to make something more interesting of it.
