Flight of Fancy

Today I have revisited a subject and treatment that I used about three years ago.

The subject is a broken porthole window in a derelict boat at Burntisland Harbour (see 'extra')

The distortion is by using 'polar coordinates' in reverse mode.
That's the filter that can turn a panorama into a mini-planet. When used in reverse mode, it turns circular subjects into landscapes.

I have used a reduced colour palette for the final version, and then at the last minute, one of the ubiquitous local seagulls just happened to fly into the image.

If you want to see my previous version from 3 yrs back, it is here:
