I started out with an image of 3 sandhills pecking at the same piece of ground. I duplicated and rotated so I had a line of 6 then did the polar coordinate thing and finally used Nik Tonal Contrast to boost the colors.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated:S3:

The cranes really standout against the monochromatic background. To me this looks like we're gazing into a crystal ball.

Good work Cheryl! I like your technique of producing a pano, then polarizing it! I might apply topaz clean before the polarizing, just to smooth it out a bit:S3:

Cheryl,
This is my favorite of the two you submitted so far. Love the three predominate colors of light brown, red and gray as well as the overall shape created by the bird composite. Beautifully done.

Hi Cheryl, very nicely done. I too love how all the crane heads come together the way they do.

Nice job Cheryl, I really like the focus and the repeating cranes. Would make a nice medallion to wear around your neck!
