I've got the whole world in my hands ...
... well, my little corner of it! We're hoping to move house this year, and the one thing I'll miss is the view from my back garden. So I thought, what the hell, I'll capture it in a globe and take with with me!  |

Kate - beautiful. A great image. I'd tuck the sphere behind that forefinger, though, it looks as if it's about to roll off. Vibeke - deeply envious, as always! |

Nick, I spherised a picture of the view with 100% as the amount, then cut it out with the oval marquee. Then I was lucky enough to find a picture of a hand holding a glass ball, so I superimposed my sphere, with, I think, overlay blending mode. Then I just played about with the curves on my sphere until it looked right. |
