Description
Sometimes it doesn't take much to get me going!
I posted a picture of a gourd the other day, and Rod said, "With a little imagination - and some Photoshop foolery - this gourd could be cut out and placed in a space background as an alien planet. It would be quite convincing!"
Here ya go, Rod!
Actual space photos are from NASA.
Gourd photo is mine.
Everything else is Photoshop legerdemain.

AAAAAHHAAAAA!!!! Ya did it!!!!! I love it!! See... I told you it would make a great planet - and you took the ball (or gourd) and ran with it! LOL Great job with this, Tara!
Of course, now you know I'm gonna have to add a little something.....
I said it looked like a globe. Fantastic photo manipulation. Very cool.
Impressive and very creative!
Outstanding work Tara. God bless.
BRILLIANT!
Fabulous manipulation and mix. Love it :D
nice way to run with it! looks great
Great job & nice to see a creative reaction to a comment here...
Fantastic looking art. Well done.
Marvelous image, a job well done!
With Claude, it's great to see a creative reaction to a comment...Great job, Tara. This is splendid. It's totally natural, even though it's two sources. (Does NASA have an RR gallery?) (Wouldn't it be great if they they posted pinups? Or drawings of cute puppies?) You really made a true sphere of your oblong gourd; and the decay truly looks like continents, tectonic stuff, and so on. It's a great planet. And do I see Earth in the upper left corner, about 2 inches down (full size)? Terrific job. Maybe I'll come up with something, I'll try! I love how you do this here, transforming other people's images. If others follow suit, it's what it's all about. Love it!
As good 'ol logical Spock might say: "Fascinating."
