    Hi, Steve, when I saw the thumbnail I thought you had created this with smoke Beautifully done - I love the embryo and the black background.

    The title and image makes me laugh! Good job creating the sonogram! I have one of these nautilus slices and the spiral is such a pure and amazing design.

    Not at all sure of how this was created but it is a stunner. But I would love to hear exactly how you did it. Ditto all of the positives above.

    Hi Artie! Glad you liked it. As Nancy mentioned, it's a thin slice of a nautilus shell. I used an old slide viewer for backlight and then inverted that image in Photoshop. Copied to more layers and played with various blend modes and combination of layers. No filters were used. "Baby" is a rotated, reduced size slice layer with a blend mode combo that "fit".

    Thanks Steve, I was confused by the lightbox bit but the inverting clears things up. Nice touch on the "baby" bit. There is some very creative stuff going on here.

    A very very pleasing composition, the lines are so flowing and beautiful as are the few but well chosen colors in this image.
    The wall/line going off at around 8 o'clock seems to have an ever so slightly rough/thickish edge compared to all the others in this image, I would smoothen it out, but this is a minor gripe.
    Thanks for posting, very original, never seen anything like it before.

    The lines are, of course, beautiful, but it's the colors (and the embryo) that make this so different from other nautilus sections I've seen. Very nicely done. The fact that the rotated smaller shell fits in there so well is a nice demonstration of the wonder of the Fibonacci sequence.

    Beautiful colours well highlighted by the black. I might be inclined to take the liquefy tool and pull the end so it fades to black and softens the hard edge. Just a possibility
