This image of the Chicago Bean, was posted a few years ago, but I decided to take another look at it with new tools and new vision.

It was processed in Photoshop, Photoshop/Render/Lighting Effects, Topaz Lens Effects, Simplify, and Adjust. I used the Lighting Effects to create the added spotlight coming from the bottom of the "space craft" and shining unto the crowd, as if they were looking into the interior of the craft.

Enjoy!

That's really clever, Mark. I like the refections in the "bean" and the black and white treatment of the figures.

Great work Mark, reminds me of something that might have come from "War of the Worlds".

Thanks all for viewing and comments, appreciate it.

I enjoyed this one, as it opened me to a few more plug-ins and turned out better than I expected. A lot of my images that day had people looking at me, but this one was one of the few where the people were all unaware of my presence, so to me it made the theme work.
