Polar Petunia
Introduction

I saw an article in a digital photo magazine about using Photoshop's Polar Coordinates filter to achieve an interesting effect. Here is my version. It starts with photos of a petunia bed I took April of 2001. The blossom in the photo to the right was chosen as the subject of the filter, while the photo below is used as the background.

Let's first see how we get the soft yet detailed background. Use the mini navigation bar below or click the arrow to turn to the next page.
