Patti, I know a song that says something like this: "When I've drunk a couple of beers, I see Glasgow turning and turning around." Although I haven't drunk beer (yet) and although it's Manchester city, I have the feeling that it's goes the same way here as well (lol). I enjoy this manipulation. Regards, Cornelius
Kwel effect! At first I thought youd shot a mirror thing :~S I know the song Cornelius is talking about, 'I belong to Glasgow' it`s called. I also know the feeling.
I have an Escher print that this reminds me of!! Very cool effect and the shot really stands up to the treatment. I'm glad you tried something different...nicely done!

Nice work and a nice effect!....Always knew you lived in a goldfish bowl!
