From what I think is a digitally formed (or at least manipulated) picture looking up at a glass building. The color gives a suggestion of molten hot glass.

A star formed by a surprisingly ordered looking manipulation of a peacock feather.

A star surrounded by a ring of light. I think it looks like a painting but it was made from a photograph of lights.

This one was transformed from a snowy landscape into something that looks like a still fomr a dark and somber old black and white film.

I like to think that the outer edges are the roots of the trees springing up from the center, somehow folded in on itself.

The texture of these peacock feathers makes this look a bit like a knit or embroidered pattern.

From a picture of a building facade with sharp contrasts and even sharper delineations.

Another from this photograph of a jellyfish.

From this shot of pine branches, morphed and formed into something that looks a bit like a tree from above. Lovely deep jewel tones highlight the snow and make it very kaleidoscope-like.

This one ended up looking like fluffy trees encased in ice, though the grey portion is actually the mountains in the background from here.

I don't do a lot of five pointed designs, because they have less of that circular, connected feel, but this glowing one formed by tree trunks came out interesting enough.

Sharp, clear lines with everything properly delineated and kept in check. From here.

I've recently been playing around with making mandalas/kaleidoscope pictures. This is the first one I did that came out well, made from an beach photo. To make it I used GIMP and a lot of reflections,

More of these bare trees, looking something like an old and haunted photograph.

An abstract and painterly rendition from these same snow-covered pine needles.

Ascending or descending into a snowy tunnel? After a certain point they're the same. Original source here.

From a flower-like center to a bright speckled outer ring. Source here.

Another from these branches, looking a bit like curved petals.

Another made from this mountain, its feathery orange leaves billowing inwards.

Lace made of branches with sunlight filtering through. From this wintry photo.
