I have tried taking simple photos of flowers in the garden and converting them to spheres. I am showing most of these images using the comparison slider: drag the slider bar to hide/reveal the images.
I will start with some pink dahlias in the garden:
This is an alternative sphere/ball of the same starting image above:
This next pair shows a mainly white iris in the garden:
Now I am showing a deeper blue specimen of iris:
Also I have two alternative sphere/ball versions of the same iris including a 2-pole version:
This set of photos worked better than I expected – I don’t always need to use one of my art effects to give an interesting image…
