Fun on and from the beach

Uploaded: January 23, 2008

Description

To make this image, I used the polar coords (polarizer) filter in Gimp four times in a row (each time from a different angle). I also cropped it a bit, made slight changes in the image balance and rotated the image in MS Photo Editor. I made the initial image in Barcelona last summer (it is attached to the discussion).
