For this week's Sunday Challenge, for which we were asked to create an orb.

Been a while since I did any so I was a bit rusty with the technique and must admit that some of the shots I took last week, which I thought would work really didn't do as well as I'd hoped.

Still, I liked this one which is based on a photo I took at Kiplin Hall, North Yorkshire, of an allium that had gone to seed.

The orb itself was create using the recognised technique of altering the polar co-ordinates while the back ground is the original image mirrored several times and then cropped.

When I get time, most likely tomorrow, I'll add the original image into the Notes along with a few others that I crafted for this particular challenge, but which lost out in the end to the allium.
