All Babies go to Heaven
When something bad happens to babies, they all become angels and they immediately swoosh to heaven, on lily pads. This is an inspiration from Sophie's previous critique :)

This is an aerial shot of Boston Bay area in Massachusetts. I just bent and liquified it to appear a bit in outer of space. I added an angel pic and a swoosh by adding 45° motion blur and an additional 50% opacity of white paint for the path :)

Composition:
Exposure Time: 1/1244
F-Stop: f/3.5
Focal Length: 7300/1000 mm
Metering Mode: Pattern
Flash: Flash did not fire

Pp work:
1. rotate 45°, crop, bend, and liquify the horizon
2. sharpen w/ NeatImage :)
3. add angel pic, liquify the lily pad to appear dragged by centrifugal force
4. add 45° motion blur w/ short distance
5. add 50% opacity of white paint for the path
6. flatten images
7. resize for TL

Quote of the Day:
"...If the image corresponds to our most intensely personal, yet archetypal, yearnings and memories, we don't take the image in, we move out of ourselves into the image, as though it were another world, a hologram whose forms of light are ghostly angels, or a dream whose physical reality is suggested by what we see on the surface of a canvas or a page..." -Jayne Anne Phillips

This is wonderfully done, a very professional work! I like the artistic swooping path of the baby.

Great photoshopping work Freddie, it looks deceivingly real - from a technical point of view at least. The spiral trail is the best part of it. Should have picked a cuter baby.

Excellent PP work Freddie. Not sure about your theology, but I definitely believe babies go straight to heaven!!
Looks so good - but how come you show the world as round - I thought it was straight!
Janice

Fantastic idea. Thank you for sharing and interesting note too.
have a nice day
bye Aga
