Continuing the panosphere theme - here is one I call "Gyrotor". Again this is a conversion of one of my existing panorama images...

Pretty interesting image. I normally don't like this sort of image but this one is rather beautiful. I could picture a series of these on a gallery wall and they would look pretty spectacular if you could get the scale right.

x2. somehow you've managed to make something I like out of techniques I normally don't.
you're PP skills are quite superb really. its a special talent to know how much and what to apply.

Rodney, you know how I feel about planetoids

However in the interest of critique, how about looking to remove some of the water in the original pano then rootate it, this would make the water disc a bit smaller, which I feel overpowers the bridge etc, which i think should be the main feature in the image.

The processing artifact on the lower left corner is something that I reckon you could work to your advantage, try this: rotate the planetoid 45 degrees CCW, this will make this artifact look like a pillar upon which the planetoid stands, this then also, creates a symmetry between the pylons (which look like pointy boobies btw) which imo, would look cool and a much stronger rendition of a planetoid..

rodney is special

and there it is...all this time I was wondering why it appealed to me. turns out I just like a nice rack...

nothing wrong with that.

I do like this image Rodney.
Creative and pushing the boundaries. My only comment would be a tilt to the left would add some nice balance to the image.

Cheers Matt - I now have 4 of these and they do look interesting together (probably stronger as a set than standalone). I'm going to work on it and when I have enough right ones to put together (perhaps in a tryptych or something) I'll give it a go.

Thanks Chris

Cheers Gerry - really appreciate the time you took for your feedback and suggestions. The ideas sound interesting and I'll give them a go - perhaps when I'm back from Bali. Wonderng if I make the disc smaller how cramped the land/bridge will be on the smaller disc? Boobies on a stick (like a booby tree) - has merit
You know I left the artifacts in on purpose (and rotated the image to come in from the lower left corner) - I blended them out on the top and bottom right corners

rodney is special

Yeah but in the wrong way

Thanks Sylvia

I must admit that it is strangely appealing.
