When God Screams

From: Siggi (Wed May 11 10:43:04 2011)
wonder whta he is telling her about that tiled funnel effect??? was it balckand white originally??? nice effect!!


From: Barbara Garber (thebags) (Wed May 11 11:24:07 2011)
Thanks Siggi and yes it was orginally a black and white image.


From: Joe E (popeslattz) (Wed May 11 23:00:48 2011)
Great effect, Barb. That must've taken quite a few clicks. It might be cool if saturn is stretched or distorted as it's pulled in to the void. I know what the guy's saying, "This reminds me of when we took acid back in the 70's".


From: Barbara Garber (thebags) (Thu May 12 06:25:21 2011)
I lost count of the clicks Joe ... I was just having fun experimenting with the layers and effects adding more and removing others and shuffling them around until I came up with what you see here. That's why I'm not exactly sure how many of the provided images are in there ... but I know there are definitely more than two.

Cool experiment. I'd say it was a success.

I really like this. The use of the images provided work well. Very impressive...

This is just a great idea, love it! I prefer this one to the other, don't know why, maybe just because the more calm feeling.


From: Barbara Garber (thebags) (Sun May 15 06:41:29 2011)
Thanks Kiwi & Gunsan ... My original idea was to have an angel emerging from the funnel (minus the telescope image) ... but I couldn't find an image of one that I liked. The girl in Gunsan's image would have been perfect..

This one's really wild, Barb. Love the colors and the swirling vortex. I think they're both great. I probably like this one just a little more than the first one.


From: Barbara Garber (thebags) (Sat May 14 17:40:15 2011)
Thanks Joe ... this version is AT LEAST 15 to 20 clicks prior to the other one that I posted ... I told you there are a lot of layers that got turned off along the way ... but this is ONE of the points in the process that I liked it enough to save it before going on. ... I also added a bit of a twist.

I like this one more... I think it's much more vibrant and alive than the first.


From: Siggi (Sun May 15 13:13:19 2011)
becuase of the colour i seem to prefer this one as well...............the people with the telescope seemed to be on the wrong side of the vortex to see much......

I'm in total agreemnet with Siggi's comment.

I like this one very much, but it is a pity you deleted the funnel images. The first one I liked a lot!


From: Barbara Garber (thebags) (Sat May 21 11:37:23 2011)
Thank you Gun ... I'm still debating that ... I could always delete "Under The Sea" and put one of those back ... they can't all stay ... we're only allowed 2 entries.


From: Joe E (popeslattz) (Sat May 21 12:19:57 2011)
This would make a great large print for over the sofa. I really liked the second funnel but this is cool too.


From: Siggi (Sat May 21 16:32:07 2011)
nice colours and i LOVE the liqified bits!!!


From: Barbara Garber (thebags) (Sat May 21 23:13:30 2011)
Thank you Joe and Siggi ... that look was achieved with twirl, pinch, radial blur, and several other filters and effects ... but NOT liquify ... and that's what I love about these challenges ... learning how others see what I have done.
