Used some distortion effects:(zig-zag,liquify,wave), Radial blur. Adjusted Hue and Saturation. Plenty of masking.

Everything was done in photoshop.

Endless time spent --- wish I had a lot more time to make it better

Used only source image.

No outside sources used

This is a photo-manipulation using 2 images, and a glass globe made completely in Photoshop using layer masking, filters, shading, and transparencies.

It is exactly where I would not want to be... trapped in a snow globe...it does seem to be a nice day to be aoutside though!

I just hope everyone likes the simplicity of this, and I think the globe actually looks like it belongs in the image...
