This is what you see after you've been too busy gawping at the pretty colors and not watching where you're going and you run into a lamp post. I'm not speaking from experience no matter what anyone tells you, that was some other bat.

And now we enter the Twilight Zone. Awesome effects!

outstanding effect with the flare

Welcome to the Darkside, Outer Limits, Nightmare Cafe and the Twilite Zone! Enjoy the ride! Cool post work

Cool ego! Love that added starburst, Mark. Enjoy the weekend and your fabulous comments .

Nice work Mark. Happy weekend to you too.

And suddently it became evening with street lights... or did you get invaded by aliens from the outer space? Anyway. I love what you did here and that huge orb is just so beautiful. Love your orbs.

The image Alter Ego is critical to understand the first. It seems to come not in person but in your vision of it. How To Spy in your way of looking at the world. So that how it looks from your thoughtful and precise comments is very intelligent and full of attention. It seems you are able to see the beauty in ordinary things of everyday life. This is a beautiful gift that we can even call it imagination or creativity. Congratulations for the good work !!

Brilliant!

A round of hearty applause Mark an incredible vision my dear friend!!

Fantastic treatment, Mark.Incredible light.

This is some intensely cool messin' Mark! I'm pretty much speechless after reading giulband's comment - I think he's right on the money. So many ways to see and interpret the same scene, and this is wonderful.

And thank you for all those wonderful comments, buddy! Wow! I saw all those notifications for your comments, so I made a cup of coffee, some toast, put on some music, took the phone off the hook, closed the blinds, and settled in for some good reading! Man, you see stuff in my images even I don't see! God, I love it!

I love what Rod said, because that's exactly what I experience with your comments. I put something up, you comment, I look at it again, and see things I never saw before. In my own work!! It's such a gift to receive a Mark Comment. :)

Love the messing about. :) Bill looked over my shoulder when this was up on the screen, and said, "Cool!" and then, "Oh ... you're playing with your new filters!" I said, "No, it's Mark." He was impressed, and loved what you'd done. That makes two of us! :)

Great work ! Love the lighting. Reminds me of the time I accidently looked at someone arc welding.

Rule #1: Never take drugs on an empty stomach.

It looks like the world is melting. Or did Dorothy hit someone with a bucket of water?

I have to concur with the others (I always seem to be bringing up the rear). This is some seriously cool messing around.

Wonderful and interesting !!

And this messin' shows why I love you

Very good, also, the work of Posterization!!!

wonderful

The day the nuclear blast went off in Chicago? The wall seems to be melting...

A blinding image of paranormal proportions in this messin' around concept of a Chicago street scene at night, Mark. Or maybe a powerful searchlight on a passing patrol car.
