"A Peaceful World" - Collaborative Art Journey w/ @Everlove's "Life Stands Still"

Aahhh...!  It's been so long since I've posted on Steemit!  I've been busy in the "real world"...  But, I saw the new Collaborative Art Journey was up - so I had to jump in.  Here is the new image titled "Life Stands Still":

Now, I know @Everlove doesn't like to reveal what her photos are of - until after everyone is done.  But - is that a chick? - unhatched baby chick?  I see what I think are blood vessels, and well...  yikes!  I've owned chickens for a few years now, and have dealt with quite a few chicks- and some that didn't make it.  (sad)  And, I've seen some odd eggs, too.  So - if this is (was) a baby chick- I hope the little one is ok, and hoping that there is a great, inspiring story behind this photo. Otherwise- @Everlove just may have some interesting artistic tricks up her sleeve!!  lol

So- with that in mind...  And, I'm sort of squeamish...  I decided I needed to steer away from the "baby unhatched chick" possibility.  So - I focused more on her title of the photo - and well - this was a pretty easy one.  And, i have to admit - I sort of "slapped it together" -because I'm supposed to be getting some other work done...

So - first I isolated the circular/orb shape and made it more perfectly round:

Then I played with it in Photoshop - that was fun...

And voila!

A planet...!

Now - I have to say that while I was working on this - I started having thoughts of turning it into a marble, and having several marbles - all different.  But, I let those thoughts go, and just went along with the "world" idea.  

Then I wrote this little poem/statement/idea/rambling thoughts in my head:

Have an Artful Day!!
