Thirteen Mosaics
created with 13 views
straight across the street.
Amazing to me
how varied that view can be …
Note the cluster of
palm trees in each shot
underneath the various
sky vistas … then tell
me what’s strange about
the ‘view’ in the center … Do
you see something odd?

I love your mosaics. Looking at the sky is always such fun, and photoshop just adds to it.

I thought I would comment on a fav but I like them all. Did you create the mosaic template?

It so looks like you had a lot of fun! I love playing with my software when I have time. You used one of my favorites – posterize – and I love the inverted sequence.
Of course, they were all beautiful images to begin with!!

Very interesting lesson on the possibilities. The bas relief was a new one to me.

Wow…you were really getting creative here. Nice to see how all these thigns look. I like that Bas Relief…interesting effect. Not sure I found an answer to your question. But I can’t answer the question of what is odd.

This gives nice effects, but I don’t like palm trees and blue skies in black and white or sepia ! that’s a crime, lol !

Love all these variations! The cventral photo suggests there is a huge mountain behind the trees? Maybe I’ve been dreaming on clouds for too long!

At last!!! Someone besides me finally saw the ‘huge mountain behind the palm trees’ … so I’m not deranged after all. Thanks for the validation, Gemma. Actually I realize I made this more difficult by including all the filtered mosaic variations … but sometimes I just don’t know when to stop. Thanks to all of you for stopping by. I did share five more variations of this same sky collage at Sacred Ruminations … just because. Oh my gosh … I just noticed I’ve have12,006 ‘hits’ on this blog in less than a year. That’s amazing ;–)
Hugs and blessings,

I thought it was either a very large umbrella 🙂 or a huge mountain… either way they are all beautiful.

You definitely had fun playing with those – I like the embossing a lot – poster one is wild too!
