An abstract from an animal portrait

Uploaded: May 14, 2008

Description

I used the watercolor effect and cropped the initial photo in MS Photo Editor, copy-pasted it to MS Paint and made 7 additional mirror images (4 in 2 rows). Then I used the apply lens, polar coords and apply lens effect again in Gimp and copy-pasted the image again to MS Paint and made 3 additional mirror images. Finally I softened the photo a bit.
