Vibrant Color

Vibrant colors inspired this abstract.
This is a photo of the lights on my Christmas tree intentionally taken out of focus. I used the zoom effect and shot it in raw. I darkened the shadows as well as increased the saturation and brought out the highlights using levels. I added the glass filter and the liquify filter to obtain the other effects. All editing was done in PSE4.
