Inspiring Photo: - Autumn Whirl

- Autumn Whirl - [168978 Digital Darkroom]

Uploaded: September 10, 2007 21:30:32

Description

I love falling Autumn leaves and
was also in an artistic mood today.

Multiple layers- color alteration with sepia, several textures, and extensive
opacity/rotation work to simulate a slight radial blur in areas.

Thanks for looking! :)
