a new visit to the "amazing circle" technique, this makes use of the windy rains stirring up the lake, last week, as a setting for the "orb".

I followed the procedure, first, as outlined here: brilliantdays.com/archives/2005/10/how_to_create_a.php ,

and in the flickr Amazing Circles group: www.flickr.com/groups/amazingcircles/discuss/116859/

I Am using the basic wondrous polar coordinates transformations as beautiful in and of themselves, but also as starting points for grounding them in their origins and/or creating new relationships for them.

The double icing on the cake is that I discover new Photoshop tools, and, by posting the results here, gain new friends.
