Menace in the Sky

[Christopher Miller]

I had some time to work on a few mini-worlds this week of which this one was my favorite. I took a cloud photo, flipped it, and then created a mini-world out of it. I then applied a variety of adjustment layers to increase contrast and change the colors, added a vignette to darken the edges, and added some light rays.

[Brendan Dozier]

This is super cool, Christopher, and very creative. Love the glowing light behind the clouds and the light rays and vignette are a great touch. Nice title and dark mood to this, the light seems like it could be moonlight. Very nicely done!

[Judy Howle]

Very creative Christopher! I like the colors and the glow behind the clouds. Very "otherworldly".

[Kerry Perkins]

Christopher, this is a very different image from you and I like it a lot! I'm a huge fan of flipped sky images - they remind me of Rorschach ink blot images. :c3: My mind has a field day with clouds like these. Very nicely done!

[Maureen Allen]

Beautiful flip, Christopher. Agree with Kerry on the Rorschach look. The glow from behind the clouds is wonderful.

[Julie Kenward]

Another thumbs up from me, Christopher! I love how that top portion of cloud looks like a giant bird flying overhead. The colors of the BG really add to the denseness of the image and the ethereal feel of the piece. Nicely done!

Christopher, Very nice and I like that you created something completely different than the norm for a mini-world. Love the colors and the mood!

[Nancy Bell]

This brings to my mind the "Big Bang" theory of the creation of the universe. A mini-world to a macro world! Very creative!

[Paul Lagasi]

Way cool, I think I see Skelator in there somewhere, a sign of a successful image is when different people, see different things when viewed. Very nice colors and effects...TFS

[Indranil Sircar]

This is excellent, Christopher. Love the color and effect of the vignette. Very ethereal.... nicely done.

[Christopher Miller]

Thanks a lot, everyone! I appreciate it. :S3:
