SD skyline after rain

Got some cool clouds after the rain today.

Looking at it again, it looks oversaturated to me. I'll probably tone it down before it goes up on my website. Got some vignetting in the upper left, too. :o

what program did you use for the 2nd photo?

Sky looks off to me, as if it was overly pp'ed in the top or front section and then not as much over the city? Was this worked on or just how the sky was. Either was a cool sky pic..........

After relooking at it, I see you left the comment below the photo as to what I was talking about.

That was done in Photoshop. Filter->Distort->Polar (or the like).

The photo is oversaturated. There are noticeable cloning artifacts on the left and bottom sides. There are (I guess) strong compression artifacts visible in the sky as a grid of boxes.

The scene itself isn't at all bad, but you need to know when to lay off on the processing.

Yes, as I stated in the OP, it is oversaturated. I do see what you guys are talking about in the sky, though. Not sure where that came from as there is no evidence of it on my desktop, which is the same image (same processing) pre-resizing.

As for the planet: straighten out the image, make it square (uncheck the constrain proportions box), filter, distort, polar coordinates.

I'm getting an 'innie' instead of an 'outie' when I try using the distort/polar coordinates command in CS4. Does it have something to do with unchecking the 'constrain proportions' box as I can't seem to find it to uncheck it.

first you have to flip the picture..

Yeh, forgot about that step. Sorry!
