A shot of a footbridge which I have run through PS polar co-ordinates filter. I may have taken a liberty with the title, but the result seemed to have something of the quality of the Asian symbol.

This turned out really well, Ian. A striking image.

Ian, this looks very good. It’s a fine mix of complex with simple lines and shapes. Was this a single shot converted to polar coordinates? I’ve done that with mirrored images, which has the benefit (sometimes…) of exactly matching the left and right sides in the top half. I almost always enjoy the big streaks coming in from the sides, but should you want to make those go away, you just need to add some black canvas around all four sides. Enjoy your experimenting! I’m enjoying this view.

Thanks, @Mark_Seaver for the comments. This is a single image, but I can’t recall how much I had to do after running it through the filter to get the final result. Not too much I think - the original was symmetrical.
