I'm "it" now so here's my contribution for the coming week. It was shot at the Muttart Conservatory and I have no idea what it is — I suspect it might just become a tad less identifiable as the week progresses, ha ha! I am so anxious to see what others can do to it! Have fun!

Thank you. looks interesting.  Il see what i can do. :-D

OK here you go. 

Wow! That's awesome; I really could not have imagined anything like this!

Wayne

Thanks Wayne, I am glad you like it.  
There are many possibilities in your image. I like it alot.
I used a couble of my own images on it.. 

1. A  totally blured mistaken shot. Often such a blured shot has good colors and are great for a mix, so i often keep them.
2. And a night shots from a rolling car of a Petrol station ... the prices made the stribes.
   I thought they fit nicely to the space ship   I used blendmode on the layers.
   And I put some windows too. At last a texture.

Helle

Ohhh, from tropical tree to space ship, way to go Helanker! 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

Well the moment I saw those two curlicues on the truck near the bottom of the photo, I saw eyes. And the only trees that I know that have eyes are Ents.

So here's an Ent.

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

Helle: Thanks for telling us how you did it. That is most interesting!

Yvonne:  That is just astounding! And the background is so neat — I believe I know the exact photo those eyes came from, and flowing it down like a long beard, way cool too!

Thanks again to both of you for taking the time to create these!

Wayne

OJJJ!  LOL  Yvonne ! He is excellently done and I like the background too. :)

LOL! Here we go again with aliens and spaceships on the brain! Helle, when I first saw yours it reminded me more of a ride at an amusement park! Hey.... maybe an amusement park for Ents!  Love the postwork LP!

I did a little more tame picture using several different filters.

Thanks Kim, that's really neat adding all those diamonds and making more and longer hair! Looks great!

This one is simple geometric play...fun.

Good one Tom! Now it looks like some kind of alien wheel coming at me to slice and dice — maybe we can call it the pineapple crusher! Nice one!

Bentchick, i continue seeing an alien with big head decoration :-) I like the little green worm-like things.lol

And Tom i see this as Mother Natures own Hamster wheel :-)

Cambio de color

jeroni

Jeroni it is very beautiful in sepia.

Ok one more from me :-)

Hey Jeroni those muted colors give it a new dimension - thank you!

And Helle - this one boggles my mind - it is so very interesting! Thanks again!

Wayne

Helle, I like what you did there! Wonderful filters you found there. I kind of did the same thing, messed with a bunch of filters until something different came out that I liked.

Tom, good to see you join in! Love the simple mirror effect, yes, a pineapple shredder!

  Hi everyone. I'm new to Photography, but transformations have been one of my favorites in 2D. And Helle invited me here, so I gave it a shot!

My connection has been down, so I have 20 seconds before I get bumped off. So let me say that everything here has been terrific: I love the mirror images, the added jewels & eyes, the space ship effects, the muted tones, the oil painting effect, everything. The original, Wayne, is perfect for DITI. Can't explain why, it just is. You couldn't have picked a better image.

Here's mine. Hope you like. Filters, adjustments and general begging. (Lots of begging...)
Have a great weekend!
Mark

 

Hey, that's pretty good messing there BC — love it!

Hi Mark! I have absolutely no idea how you did this, it's way off my imagination scale! I'm glad you found it a good one to work on. The background in the oval and the background behind that are very rich indeed! It looks overall like a 22-legged octopus attacking a jewelled egg. Great stuff! Thanks for doing it.

Wayne

Bentchick, i really like the golden brown and lovely textured result you got out of your collaboration.
Looks so beautiful.

LOL !Wayne, i like your discription of what you see in Marks collaboration. You are right, it looks like that. And Mark, I cant  imagine what you have done here, but i think it is so beautiful and a great idea with the ellipse.

 Wayne & Helle, thanks so much for your comments, and forgive me for getting here so late. I've not had a connection the last week, so it's been hard to get here at all.

Wayne, I use lots of filters & adjustments in tiny but repeated increments, so it's hard to explain the process. But the oval's a simple oval filter, and the oval-background is from smudging (smearing) & re-coloring. The other background is one of my digital paintings, used as a backdrop. Hope that helps a little, lol...

Everyone did a great job (Helle, Yvonne, Kim & Jeroni), I've much enjoyed this feature & am thrilled to be a contributor to it.

Now I'll go start the new week's thread...

 

Thanks again to everyone who played with my shot! The imagination out there is truly inspiring!
