Ha, you are certainly having some fun with your images. This one is so true to energy... it flows, like electric waves across the stormy skies, or in the energies of the chakra's within our bodies, and auras out into the space of the unknown... very well done... and perfect description title! Excellent! 8o) #1210098

Wow, hey girl, I can see the enrgy coming out of this one, pouring out, send it my way please!

Energy inside our emotional state is so important as it drives us.

I think this is what energy would look like. Love your treatment on this one Laura. The colours just pop. Beautiful and fun image. #8174035

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer November 27, 2009

What a perfect title for this FASCINATING image, SSSLala.
It reminds me of those balls you touch and your hair stands out and you can see the energy coming from the ball. (Can't remember what they're called).
Only this is the color version and I'm looking right down into a sea of energy.
I love it. It's really beautiful! #8174054

Laura E. Swan November 28, 2009

Hi Mumj, Pat, Ann and SSSKiki!

Thanks so much for enjoying this one with me! I am really enjoying your responses.

This is actually a GLASS BLOWN BALL of mine. One of a sot of Riki (Rakee?) finish on it. You wouldn't recognize it from start to finish! It was really fun to make.

Thanks ladies! :D

Night night!!!

-Laura

P.S. If I didn't visit your gallery tonight I will in the morning. I am so tired tonight.

NIGHT NIGHT! #8174070

Monnie Ryan November 28, 2009

You're sure having a great time with this filter, Laura -- love it (and keep 'em coming)! This one kind of reminds me of what my brain must look like most days (except this is probably brighter...) #8174622

John Connolly November 28, 2009

What a brilliant abstract image Laura! The color and overall effect is amazing! I can relate to your title, I feel energized just looking at this amazing presentation! #8175483

Patrick Rouzes November 28, 2009

Great questions to ponder,Swanee! My emotions probably look like this b/c none of those illuminated fibres are connected, LOL. Nonetheless, that is a long & boring story! The vibrant colors, lighting & effects could certainly be exactly what an energy orb looks like.Laura! Super creative mind you have my friend! WTG! #8176355

ROLAN NARMAN November 28, 2009

I'm getting some energy through your image sister! Wonderful colors and a vibrant composition! Well done! #8176368

Karen Kessler December 01, 2009

EWWWW...I like this one! Great use of the frac filter! (It's fun, huh?!) Another fave... #8183444

Mary K. Robison December 05, 2009

What a great team you and Fractalius make, Laura! The perfect birthday gift for a DDR addict! ;-D
I like all the digital creations you've been turning out while I was "off-site" for awhile. This one IS Energy personified (hmmm...can a thing be personified?). Excellent composition, with dark and light split/contrasted beautifully. And those colors --- dy-no-MITE! Wonderful work, Pom! #8192291

Wm Nosal December 05, 2009

COOOL IMAGE! Like the Emotional Energy
Is it Male or Female Energy? #8194156

Laura E. Swan December 05, 2009

Last to first:

Wayne, the Scientists will only say HUMAN. Humm...I guess electricity is electricity??? HA!

Thank you Mary! I just love the frac filter and I knew I would. This is actually a glass ball with a foiled type of exterior. It's always a shock to see what will turn out when I apply frac. Some crazy stuff and a few I cant even USE or SHARE till next Halloween. I am serious! Spooky! I love this one. So glad you guys do, too! :D

Oh Kalena. YES. It IS!

Hi Arlene! I like how they seem to stir! HA! Fun hey??? Thank you very much!

Thanks Sister Chrissy! Gorgeous is GOOD! :D !!! It really is kinda cool, huh?!

Hi Tommy! Thank you so much!! I'm having a blast!

I appreciate you guys stopping in!!!

-Laura :) !!!

Neat. Like the Red in the middle #8204561

Laura E. Swan December 09, 2009

Yes. Me, too! And the Lavender around that was pretty too, I thought.

Really, this is one of my favorite's so far for the frac filter. It seems 3D to me or at least 2D.

Thanks Steve. #8204588

JO ANN CLEVELAND June 17, 2010

Ken Smith July 31, 2010

Now if I had taken a photo of a haunted house, and saw this on the digital negative...I'd definitely be a believer! :-) But it's a fun thing to wonder "what if?" After playing racquetball and mowing the lawn...I want to plug into this!! Cool shot, Laura! #8797897

Laura E. Swan July 31, 2010

Good one Ken! I guess THIS orb would put the OTHER ONES to REST for SURE! HA!

I used to try playing racquetball. Note the word "try"...I was just as good at tennis too! My forte lay in badminton. SLOW-MO stuff! Hehe!

#8797912

Mary K. Robison July 31, 2010

It's still a cool and colorful image, Pom, just as it was in November. I hope the judges think so next month, too. Fractalius rules! #8798047

Laura E. Swan July 31, 2010

Thank you Mare! I realized the end of the month was here and I didn't put much into the MT for circles...so tossed in two of my favorites from the PAST! HA!

Did you read what John said on my thread for Concentric Circles! HA!!!!!! WAY TOO FUNNY! You have to go read it! Hehehehe!

Thanks for your EVER generous comments. Fractalius really DOES rule doesn't it?!

It's a MAJOR breakthrough in ART Photography.

Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna July 31, 2010

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEAUUUUUUUTIFUL, Laura! I need this implanted into my head...maybe it would give me the energy I'm in dire need of! :-) k #8798067

Denny E. Barnes July 31, 2010

John Connolly August 01, 2010

it is good to review this energetic image again, Laura! I like Mikes thoughts on Nebula Rising!
May the force be with you! #8799804

#8799846

Laura E. Swan August 01, 2010

BTW- Kitty, for and extra $29.00 this orb can be inserted into your ear while you have the age enhancer work done at the clinic. Remember that wonderful offer from two month ago? The ORB plays mood music and drowns out he pesky noises of people that complain around you. Now isn't that worth the extra $29.99??? (Bring Cash)

Oh and Yes, Denny. This is your PAST Life Experience for this week. :D HA! Hope it was a good one to remember!

Thanks Dick! :)) Same to you for YOUR entries!!!

Gold is VERY positive, Steve. I'd say this ORB has GOOD VIBES overall! Keep staring! Hehe!

Oooo! Love the cosmic responses Mike and John! Sounds good to me!

ENJOY THE youtube all!

-Laura

THANK YOU ALL FOR VISITING!

Now I know where my energy goes!!
Thanks for sharing, even if I did get shocked. #8899754

Laura E. Swan September 14, 2010

Hi Renata and James!

Go out for a pass! I'll throw it to you guys! Hehe!
