Circles ~ Changed Perspectives ~ Graphics !

The first attempt !

H for the Alphabet Site Group To do this... Have your squared photo Go to Filter>>Distort>>Spherize (set at 100% and Normal) Apply Duplicate your file Once it has done that use Cookie Cutter Tool as a circle to cut out the sphere on the Duplicate. On the original go to Filter>> Texture>> Craquelure>> Apply (You may have to resize the effects as I was using a big file here) Also.. you can use any texture you want Now drop the duplicate Sphere onto the original file.... Apply "Soft Edge" The variations are endless ! You can cut out the Polar Circles the same way and put them on a textured background too I am sorry I dont have this in Dutch !

This one has has the Guassian Blur used on the background which is a part of the original photo Circle is cut out with the cookie cutter tool as before

A manipulation of an earlier photo of mine. The background is a different photo .. also manipulated. I want to thank Soeradjoen for his encouragement in this venture ! Thanks John... they are such FUN !

Freedom isn't Free ' They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. " For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres, There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. They mingle not with their laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables of home; They have no lot in our labour of the day-time; They sleep beyond England's foam. But where our desires are and our hopes profound, Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight, To the innermost heart of their own land they are known As the stars are known to the Night; As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain; As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end, they remain. We will remember them
