Panosphere - aka Little Planet...

I'd thought about trying my hand at a panosphere (often called the "little planet" effect) for some time now. The effect is produced by a type of image projection to show a picture as if it was a small world.

The method for creating a panosphere is relatively simple - I'd just never gotten around to actually trying one till now.

I took one of my existing stitched panorama images and tried the conversion to panosphere.

Most interesting. I think you've done very well with this - one to frame.

I agree you've done an outstanding job. Much better than others I've seen.

This reminds me a little of an old technique for issuing instructions in car rallies - the circular herringbone.

Very interesting image, and technique.

Luv it, but I would suggest that turning the image 90° to the right would give the photo a much more powerful composition. :D
