Short End Of The Stick

Short End Of The Stick

Uploaded: March 19, 2005

Description

I was playing with this image in PhotoShop CS and the yellow ring appeared. I have no idea where it came from or how to repeat it. The "smoke" was an out of focus center piece in the background.

Neat the colors and effect are outstanding, but what is it originally. Looks like stick of butter melting on top of a candle stick. #1292577

Thank you for all the nice comments. I wish that I knew just what I did but I am not organized enough to write everything down. I will try to put the original in later. #1292691

For those of you who care, here is the original. The "smoke" was from an out of focus centerpiece. #1292910

It seems that this was pretty much an accident. However it’s turned out to be a fantastic image. Congratulations.

A tip is to always create a new layer in Photoshop before making adjustments, and go back thought your history if your not sure what has happened.

You are as organized as I am. Thanks!
