This project is an exploration in creating a design with frozen items (flowers work particularly well). Think of this like stained glass, don't be afraid to add color to your water, or include non organic items (toys, pieces of sea glass, money, etc.). Most important is making sure you give yourself time to freeze the items, then backlight them in a window or other bright light source. You can crop close to your flowers to make a more interesting layout, we should not see the edges of your ice block. 

No...not like the song. Although that's probably going to be stuck in your head after I just said it. This is a small fun project that uses filters in Photoshop and a panorama image from your phone. If you have a 360 degree panorama those are best but if not you can use any panorama (or really any image). The panorama helps us to make a more fisheye looking small world image, also called a "stereographic projection" but you can also stretch a regular landscape.
