Out of the Darkness

I created this miniworld from an old sunset photo of mine that I flipped horizontally before applying polar coordinates. I then darkened the edges, applied an orton effect, and adjusted the color tones a bit with color balance. Appreciate any and all comments.

I really like the light rays. The flip as usual is very neat...and the dark edges help draw your eye to the center. TFS.

Chris,

I like the mood of this one and agree with Nick that the dark edges draws your eye into the center. Nicely done.

Christopher, the light rays are very nice in this one, I think this is my favorite of these ones you have tried thus far. Great work!

I love it! The dark edges and the light rays do a great job of drawing you into the image! :5

Christopher, Great series! I love the rays of light and the center has a lot of interest. Nicely done.:S3:

Good one Christopher. Very compelling image with the rays and lighting. Nicely done!

Thanks everyone! Much appreciated. :S3:

This is beautiful, Christopher!
