Wow, Sheila, this is so neat. I love the work and creative idea. Well done. You must tell me how you did this. #868812

Thank you, I appreciate your comments. Using Photoshop Elements 5.0 I selected & copied just the dog from the original image (see before picture). Then I distorted the entire photo into an oval using Filters: Distort Polar Coordinates, then Rotate the image 180, then Distort Polar Coordinates again into an oval. From there I pasted the original image as a layer, fine tuned levels and saturation and airbrushed and erased rough edges and select areas to blend. Lots of fun and builds skills. #5588760

Kristy, thank you for your comment as well. I enjoy the concept of "continuing education" and look forward to any suggestions or critiques. It's fun pushing one's skill limits. #5598415

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
