I thought I would take advantage of the empty parking lot on Christmas night.
This is a 360 degree polar panoramic.
I stitched 15 vertical images to a 360 degrees and then I flipped the image upside down in PSCS and then I ran it through the polar filter. I stretched the image from an oval globe to a round globe using the free transform in photoshop. Then I cloned some of the concrete from one of the original 15 images into the center of the photo to fix the polar filter marks.
I did some color balance and levels and cloaning to clean up. I sharpened and burned some spots.

Well sort of nicely done, I would have added some stars in the sky though since you are going this far with the editing but well, saw a couple of shots like this in the last expert editing challenge that finished well and it kindof takes away the wow factor and makes it a bit redundant and I liked the two top 10 finishers in that challenge better than this, voted a 6.
Good work on the planet idea. Having been done in the last challenge does take something away though as the idea doesn't have that "new" value anymore - still good work though!
I also wonder if the title "Wally World" refers to the store name somehow? I can't read the name of the shop so I am left confused about that.
