An abstract from fireworks
Uploaded: January 09, 2009
I used the crossthatch effect in Gimp, copy-pasted it on the initial image but scaled to 50% and made 4 mirror images, blended the result with the initial image, used the crossthatch effect again and blended with the previous image, used the painted rock effect, bumpmapped it, used the polar coords effect, created the central part with it, too, cloned out a black line, adjusted the overall image balance and cropped the result a bit.
Exif: F Number: 4.5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 160/100 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 160, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 92.00 mm, Model: SP570UZ
