I have the ring on lots of my shots but rarely on purpose but do like the effect.

That's what I think is happening too. I have no hard data to back that up, but it seems that the more OOF the image is the more pronounced the swirl is. Most of my shots don't have a real, in-focus sweet spot. And that's intentional, actually. Same thing with the "swirl": I'm not sure exactly *why* it is happening, but it is exaggerated with extreme tilt and I am aware of it when composing/focusing, and am using it intentionally.

Thanks for the reference. This looks like someone over-indulged in pistachios. ;)

Actually this really sucks me down. Perhaps I'm drowning. Interesting colors. I don't know about Topaz Adjust.

P.S. I wonder what this would look like with those 3-D glasses on.

I find it strangely disturbing to think you took this while driving. I like it though.
