City at Night - Polar Coordinates

[babans]

Hi,
Just want to share another idea using Polar Coordinates in Photoshop ...

This was the original picture :

From Olah

Then I did the following steps in photoshop:
1. Filter - Distort - Polar Coordinates - and set to Polar to Rectangular option.
2. Copy the result then move it down (make sure you have enough canvas space), and rotate it by flipping vertically, until perfectly mirrored.
3. Once again, Filter - Distort - Polar Coordinates - and set to Rectangular to Polar option ...
4. Done

and I got this :

From Olah

and here is also another pic :

Good luck

looks great. Did you do anything special to give these circles such a high gloss appearance, or was that the natural output post-processing?

Peeveyr,
Yes actually I added background which match with the pic's tone, also put some lighting effect via photoshop, so it would create 3D effect.
Thanks

very impressive, looks like a lot of work involved

OK... so I only got this... and not even close... can you give a little more of a write up on what you did.... cause it has an awesome outcome and mine isn't.

The blue one is almost too busy, sort of dizzying to me.
