There appeared to be an arc on the glass ... so I superimposed a mandala that I'd previously made on the shadows on the glass.

This was taking a not-very-good photo of leaves' shadows swaying on our living room walls ... and trying to do something interesting with it.

I applied a watercolor filter to the image, among others.

In my mind, those leaf shadows are still swaying with the breeze.

Same thoughts as Variation I, although I do think this one is a bit more appealing.

I do like the colors (thanks to the Difference Clouds filter in Photoshop) and the filter applied to the "swiss cheese" arms of the mandala.

This is probably one of my least favorite mandalas that I have created.

I like the five-arm configuration. I don't like the concentric circles that look like "tracks" and I don't like the "swiss cheese" look on the perimeter.

I wish I could have turned this sow's ear into a silk purse! (sigh)
