February 08 Finalist
A Diversity (Variety) of Colors
I am trying this in the MT
This started out as a Orchad Light Azalea I took in the spring of last year.
I did this photo on and off all day and just kept playing LOL!
Comment's welcome and have a GREAT DAY!!!
I feel like I am living in the Antartica, We only had a high of -3 yesterday!!! Brrrrrrrrr
Send some sunshine our way PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!! LOL
I changed the bg to black
I used neon glow, fractalious, twirl and polar coordinates filter (in that order).
I then made a duplicate copy, changed hues and flipped horizontally.
Applied image difference mode with the first copy, applied image again multiply 25%
