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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will start with some pink dahlias in the garden:

This is an alternative sphere\/ball of the same starting image above:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
