Amazing Circles

I found this thing called Amazing Circles which is basically a technique of photo manipulation that is so popular on the internet that there are entire clubs that create these all the time. I read the how to and thought I'd give it a shot. Thing is, mine are done in GIMP instead of Photoshop, so it's not quite as pretty, plus, I haven't yet figured out how to get that reflective/translucence thing down yet that makes the really good ones look totally 3D. But I still had fun. Check out these three that I made.

This one (left) is from some snowy branches by our house. I love the delicacy of some of the lines, but the image looks very flat to me.

This one (right) is a close up of a display at the Bellagio in Vegas. I love the way that most of it looks like some kind of metallic icing. But the white part is an error of some kind. Not sure what happened.

This one (left) is looking up inside a building with a skylight. I tried really hard to make this one more 3D. It's my fave of the 3, but I am not there yet.

Ah well. Fun to experiement.
