This is certainly an amazing image. I am so glad that someone responded to my new club. I went through my favorite images and picked the infrared names to invite. Welcome! How did you do the circular effect on this? #10225629Joseph M. Muench July 13, 2012
Thank you for inviting me, Wendy - it is a great idea for a club! I applied a radial blur filter in Photoshop CS4 and played with the opacity and blending until I arrived at the look I had envisioned.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
