Bridge - Red Edit


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Bridge - Red Edit
Bridge - Red Edit
Doodling in Photoshop Elements 2.0
Started with a square, B/W image of a cable-stayed suspension bridge. (Hence all the fine lines.)
Applied a Kaleidoscope filter, then the 2-passes Polar Coordinates trick for photo balls.
Re-cropped off-center, and used Hue/Saturation to colorize red.
12-06 Finalist - DD

  Another great image that I missed. But I'm glad I found it. Very, very creative. Love the color, design, and everything about the image. Seems delicate, like a flower.

  I had the same thought; sort of a floral motif going on. Almost a "mod" vibe, from the 60's perhaps. Thanks for checking it out Don! You'll be happy to know I finally started compiling some images for the talk in March, though I fear everyone will have already viewed them here! ;)
