Jewel Box fun in PhotoShop

I took a fairly ordinary image of Jewel Box last Sunday night, and thought it needed something, so I used Artistic Licence and went berserk in PhotoShop

The end result is not a genuine 'Astronomical Photo', just a bit of fun

1. My original
2. PhotoShop playtime

Well the effect is there, maybe a touch overdone though

It's meant to be an overdone jellyfish. So, it's right then

I love doing that sortta thing Ken and over done is the point to make it fit for a science fiction cover Those lens flare and the color maxed out and add a lanscape at the bottom and a few red and blue Moons swiming in space... I have seen it done by others

Not bad at all Ken, I could see that becoming an album cover if we still had vinyl so it will have to be shrunk for a CD cover.
Are you planning on releasing any songs.

Cheers

Has anyone mentioned that you have too much free time on your hands, Ken!

By the way - I want one of the first copies!
