 They're Heerrrrreeeeee! Thought when I mirror imaged this shot to try to do one of the pinwheels that they looked like a little row of aliens so kept it in a row. I will add the original image in the discussion. Before and After in Digital Darkroom newsletter.

This is the original image that the 'aliens' were taken from. In Photofiltre - I cropped the image so it was more vertical, mirror imaged it a few times and cropped again to make size more manageable then really tweaked the contrast. They just looked like some kind of alien to me afterwards.

Hey Donna, thanks a bunch. This is not what I had in mind when I started. I was going to make one of the round images, but you start with an image and mirror image it over a few times to get the long image and sometimes what you get is really amazing or funny. With the saturation really upped this is what that looked like. I liked it so kept it.

Thanks, you guys! I promise thie is sooo easy after you have done 1. I can do one is just a few seconds now. Photofiltre is a free download. Take any and I mean any image, but the more colorful the better. Crop it to a tall narrow shape. Use the mirror image function(side by side)over and over again until you get as many as you want. You never know what you are going to get until you finish. It is soooo fun!

Thanks Darren, they just looked like aliens to me. The fun part of this process is that you really don't know what you are going to get till you get it. When I look back at the originals and the results even I can't see how it works out the way it does. BTW - I'm glad my 'little orange men' cheered you up. Hope you are having a good week!
