This started out with just the egret's eye, using multiple flips, polar coordinates, color adjustments, some experimentation with various filters and then went from there. The intent was to show a protected environment surrounded by a harsher world, with the egret peering out.

Very cool Maureen. It does look like some kind of protective stellar embryo, and also like a giant eye! Looks like you are having fun creating and experimenting.

Maureen, Very creative and fun. I like how you placed the egret's head coming out of the center.:S3:

Hi Maureen, this is very different and interesting. It looks like blown glass art to me. If it were mine I would probably paint out the seam in the center. I like your different approaches to the re-create theme.

Thank you for the comments. Kerry, I'll paint out the seam and see what I think.

Hi Maureen, this is very clever and creative! Brendan's description fits it perfectly!
I agree with Kerry about the center line. Removing that will definitely take this one up a notch or 2. :S3:
